> Ok, I get it. You're against free speech.

Another day, another person confusing 'free speech' with a private publisher not wanting to publish hate speech.

You're entitled to print what you want, you're not entitled to force someone else to print anything.

Unless you're the surgeon general. Then you can force private companies to publish compelled speech on their alcohol and tobacco products.

That was a very acceptable tradeoff for the makers of those products - I'm pretty sure they're rather print reasonable warnings than just have their products, which are indisputably health hazards, banned entirely.

No one is printing anything.

Yeah, because you're perfectly willing to accept that your "free speech!" can't compel someone else to operate their printing press for you... But a server on the Internet is such a totally different thing, for sure!

IOW: This ancient figure of speech is used precisely to show that the issue is exactly the same old one that has been thoroughly hashed out for centuries.

Would you like to try that again?

No, thanks, I'm good and done.

I said was I couldn’t find another place that would host it. I didn’t say that Reddit didn’t have a right to remove it.
