I think that you are not allowed to speak freely on most platforms. And when i say speak freely i dont mean to have right to offend people, just to have right to normaly tell your opinion.

    Yeah, the internet is not the public space it used to be. A lot of sites act as private spaces now.

    You’re free to say whatever you want. Platforms are also free to not rebroadcast your speech. Both statements can be true.

    Freedom of speech is a protection from persecution from the government, not an obligation for all other parties to be exposed to your speech.

    Websites are private spaces, and like most private spaces, have their own rules to abide by. It’s their right to make those rules whatever they want, and people can choose the rules that make a more pleasant space to occupy.

    If you want the freedom to be hateful and hostile to people, feel free to hang out on 4chan. Forums are typically more tightly controlled, especially specific topic forums, with discussion tightly controlled to keep things on the subject so the site stays useful and not buried in irrelevant content.

    I agree. Freedom of speech doesn’t exist on the “free” platforms. Nice to see that some sane people who notice it still exist.

      Found the libertarian that doesn’t understand the concept of free speech. 😂

      As BlueBerryDreams aptly put it:

      Freedom of speech is a protection from persecution from the government, not an obligation for all other parties to be exposed to your speech. Websites are private spaces, and like most private spaces, have their own rules to abide by. It’s their right to make those rules whatever they want, and people can choose the rules that make a more pleasant space to occupy.

      Nobody is obliged to broadcast your opinion if they don’t like what you say.

        True and that’s why closed communities (women only, trans only etc) exist. But if a community presents itself as open, not broadcasting something does say something about its morality imo.

    Say whatever you want. If you aren’t spewing literal hate speech, who cares if you offended or upset someone with a different opinion than yours.

    Here are a few:

    Ai slop is rotting the average persons brain.

    Game of Thrones and Breaking bad are fucking boring.

    Religions are cults. No exceptions.

    Celebrities are the worst part of any media.

    Pineapple on pizza isn’t a big deal, what’s more important is that it’s thin crust.

      hate speech

      That’s how you liberals suppress all other opinions. Everything is hate speech for you.

      Religions are cults. No exceptions.

      And here is the example.

        Not really, just hate speech. Anti-Zionism being the exception for the libs I guess but it’s not like it’s being used to suppress anything else worthwhile.

          I don’t mean to fight but for clarification of everyone reading, you just seem to have said there are not worthwhile things (opinions)…

            If you can’t make a point without getting flagged for hate speech you don’t have a point.

        What do you mean? Like just insulting people?

        Like calling the pope the head of a pedo organization?

        Or like calling someone a Nazi for voting for Trump and still being on Twitter?
