On the other hand, we could just stop trying to control speech and understand the implications of one side having a defacto town square that the other isn’t invited to. We can also understand that while there’s no legal protection, having companies run around as pseudo dictators removing rights for their own political beliefs undermines the spirit of 1A

You seem pro echo chamber and I still cannot for the life of me understand why you want to control speech so much. It’s almost like you’re scared a second voice in the room because it’s harder dispense misinformation that leads to support.

It is actually the opposite, you are the one advocating for controlling speech. Telling Twitter or any other private organization that they have to spread information on their private platform that they consider harmful or damaging to themselves or their business is a violation of their speech.

If I host a comment section on my blog and someone starts posting nazi propaganda I should have the right to remove those posts. Or any other posts I don’t like. Twitter is just a bigger version of that.

If you don’t like twitter’s moderation policies don’t use twitter, use truth social or Parler or 4chan or whatever.

Twitter does not speak when someone posts. This is a ridiculous take on free speech and is a bit concerning if you actually think this way.

Here you go, a perfect example just came up:

While CNN has many many articles on the individual, they’re missing this one.
