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.

    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.

        No actyaly noone have to read my comment if they dont find it interesting. Or noone have to read my post if they dont see it interesting. Removing of comments and posts are directly wiolating freedom of speach.

          That includes removing whatever post they like or dislike. If you post something against the terms of service and your post gets removed, that’s on you.

          Nobody is obligated to amplify your opinion.

            Noone is amplifing my opinion, they are just letting us all have our opinions. And they are not removing comment that are violating their terms of service they are removing coments that they dont like, even if they dont violate any terms. Also they are making terms of service very shady and unclear and brod so it gives them right to remove anything they dont like. Also they are not up front about it. If they honestly say yes we will remove any comment that we dont like than people would search for another platform that wont do that. This way they are directly deceiving people in thinking that they have freedom to tell their opinion when in reality they dont.

              What do you think the terms and conditions when you make accounts are? That’s why they make you agree to them up front. You chose not to read them and ignore them.

              On YouTube the channel operator and the company have a say in how they want their space to be. You have no right to insist on being heard in every damn room you enter. That includes “just leaving a comment for those that want to read it”

              If the person or company doesn’t want your opinion in their room it is their right to remove it. Like it or not.

        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.
