Also "free speech" that doesn't apply to corporate platforms. Which is, you know, all of them. Love when a liberal says "that doesn't count, they're a private business" whenever you point out the blatant censorship in the West.
and this logic applies even within bourgeoisie political parties https://observer.com/2017/08/court-admits-dnc-and-debbie-wasserman-schulz-rigged-primaries-against-sanders/
Whole fuckin country is a private business
Well private entities should always allowed to choose what content they want to platform. It's only a problem if we used these privately owned platform as an official communications channel (like government relying on X to announce stuffs).
That's not the only time it's a problem. It's mainly a problem because these privately owned platforms control so much communication.
