It is odd. I've tried (unsuccessfully) explaining it like, you have a right to free speech, but you don't have a right to use my phone to call people, or use my database to store your opinions.

Or sit at my lunch counter and order a smoothie, or force me to bake a cake for you?

There's a difference between refusing someone service because they're black, or queer, and refusing a corporation service because their user base stormed the capitol to disrupt a free and fair election. If those men had found Pelosi, Schumer, or "The Squad", the same people they've been talking about killing for years, what do you honestly think would have happened?
