Just kidding, this is not a discussion, it’s the truth: for those in the tech community preaching simplistic arguments about free speech and censorship, I welcome you to be this police officer:

    I think you’re the one making simplistic (and emotional) argument a-la look, this is what happens when people exercise free speech (and freedom of assembly). After some poor extrapolation you make argument these freedoms should be checked.

    OP
    To those who still want to think and make simplistic arguments about censorship etc., here is an example of theoretical cause and effect that might help you understand this situation better:

    Action: cult leader says to kill employees at your tech company. This cult leader has 15M ferocious devotees. He leads a demonstration at a privately owned event space and hours later the mob storms into your tech company’s HQ and kills 50 employees. The event space then says: hey, this is a warning. If you do this again we won’t allow you back.

    The next day, the cult leader shows up again at the event space and begins preaching the same rhetoric. The event space then says: hey, we warned you. You’re no longer allowed to be here.

    Do you think the event space has the right to do this? Should they be forced to allow him in? What if they want to offer their space to someone else?

    Does this make more sense?

    Would you still make the argument that the event space should be forced to allow this cult leader to use their property to preach his deadly rhetoric?

    I agree with those companies taking actions. Worship of absolute free speech was really created by USA to interfere and manipulate other countries (they imagined US will never have similar issues because its media and culture exporting is so powerful). It's karma and if you see history long enough, those things are meant to happen: you are good at sth, you symbolize it, promote and use it excessively over time when it needs changing, you can't anymore.
