I don't need an app to think for myself

Yeah you can think in the corner and noone will hear you like you don't exist.
It's about having a voice. It's about the main argument being "it's a private company" then going and banning the alternatives.

I don't have a right to be heard, that's not what free speech is. I also don't have the right to insist on other people publishing my views for me (corporations are people now, remember). And I certainly don't need to feel validated by apps.

You’re right. Everyone is definitely capable of thinking for themselves. No one would ever, say, violently storm the nation’s capitol because they believed propaganda about election fraud.
If they make their own platform like we tell them to, we'll just ban that too, haha.
