The recent "pro-free speech" crusades are explicitly targeting the rights of private individuals to have non-legal recourse, such as the ability of social media platforms to have editorial control over their platforms. So... fight back against that if you want to still have the right to push back in the future.

Would you say Code-era Hollywood was a shining example of free speech? After all, it was private organizations restricting what kinds of content and people were allowed participation, for the well-being of society.

You know what we call the right of private parties to choose which viewpoints to promote with their resources? (Hint: rhymes with “key peach”)

That's not what the "twitter shouldn't be able to remove anything that's not illegal" folks call it.
