In this specific comment, I am not discussing what are the dimensions along which discrimination is permitted vs the ones where it is not. I am simply pointing out to moksly (GP) that what individual people are allowed to do in their gardens is very different than what private businesses are allowed to do in the US.

But your example is a strawman, there is no difference between Microsoft and me as far as preventing people from putting a slavery celebration picture on their virtual cars.

Companies have been filtering which words you’re allowed to use as your username, in chats, as your e-mail address. Filtering what kind of pictures you’re allowed to put on your cars is no different than that.
