Free speech versus freedom of assembly. This is their collision. We resolve this by creating protected classes, a concept much of the Parler user base opposes on the grounds of religious freedom. Forcing people and groups of people to associate with those they abhor is also tyrannically tainted.

I'm trying to understand what you are saying.

Much of the Parler user base opposes associating with certain groups of protected classes?

We force e.g. racist bakers to sell to black people. Outside protected classes, however, we do not force Apple or Google to associate with Parler. Political affiliation is not a protected class. That’s freedom of assembly.

I'm still trying to understand.

Freedom of speech should only apply to protected classes?
