      You don’t know what free speech means.

      This is like claiming Blizzard is infringing on your free speech because they banned you from world of Warcraft for saying racist shit.

      Better yet. This is like claiming blizzard is infringing on your freedom of speech because they deactivated your account as a result of you not paying your subscription.

      Do better.

        Corporations should be allowed to own vital services so they can ban people from them at will. This is a good thing somehow. I love monopolies that suppress activists and organizers because it would only be bad if the government is doing it.

          We could stop thinking of Twitter, Facebook, etc. as “essential services”.

          They can both fuck right off and most people’s lives will not be negatively impacted.

          That’s the thing about private property and private services. They can terminate your involvement at will for any reason. It’s in the user agreement you consent to when you sign up.

          You’re not entitled to these services. They aren’t your god given right or any other bullshit you’re imagining.

          Comparing this to freedom of speech is laughable.
