No they are not. They are not out trying to stop others from speaking.

Jason Kessler, unite the right founder, was once a member of the Proud Boys. They kicked him out and disavowed him and unite the right, but apparently the second part of that statement didn't matter.

These tech companies policies are quickly becoming transparent political activism and as such is leaving the bounds of private actions by companies.

You can't engage in political activism without filing certain paperwork and declaring such things.

Otherwise these companies are essentially just giving billions of undeclared support to the Democratic party.

It's really funny to watch you keep conflating Twitter with the government

The same reason McIness should be allowed his platform is the reason twitter should be allowed theirs not to include him

In Fahrenheit 451 it's not the Gov't who burns books, it's the people.

The suppression of free ideas is alarming whether it's by the Gov't or by the public. Actually, a great argument can be made that public censorship is potentially even more dangerous.

Technically speaking, it IS a form of censorship, don't you agree? But it IS a private organization with right to determine rules to hold people by.

And what do you think this thread is portraying? The market perhaps?

For the market to work people have to want a change. How is "the market" supposed to work without people speaking out?

By definition it certainly is censorship. Just not Gov't censorship.

Well, it is still censorship, whether it’s the government or not.

A western chauvinist fraternity. They believe that western values are the apex of culture at this point.

They also beat the shite out of Antifa regularly.

Opens the door for a social media platform that censors no one. They will be their own downfall. Trump pushes them to the extreme, then makes them own it. They are destroying themselves.

Don't believe me. I've got some hardcore liberal pt's that have been redpilled thanks to CENSORSHIP. All it takes is a small shift in voting patterns to take them all down.
