show me one instance where someone wanted to voice an opinion and they didn't receive a single platform

platforms include
- newspapers & blogs eg: WSJ, WaPo, NYT, USA today, Guardian, Breitbart, HuffPost etc
- local/national TV - Bloomberg, MSNBC, Fox, CNN, OAN etc
- magazines - Barron's, Economist, New Yorker, Vogue etc
- podcasts
- social media - FB, Insta, WhatsApp, TikTok, Twitter, Telegram, Signal, reddit, 4chan etc

lot of you seem mad that your favorite media doesn't align with your own views and beliefs. but yet to see a single instance of free speech being stiffled

    Twitter literally blocked at least two major American news medias for wrongthink.

    YouTube routinely bans and suspends for wrongthink without even giving any explicit reasons.

    Itโ€™s funny because Trumptards are going to say itโ€™s dead on platforms like Twitter but they praised a President who literally, at least once a week, kept calling the free press โ€œthe enemy of the peopleโ€ like Hitler did. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคก

    it's not in my interest to provide you examples here. go look for it yourself or just be content with whatever you believe and stop asking people to waste their time spoon feeding you.

    Who are you even arguing at right now? Freedom of speech doesn't give you a platform it just says the gov can't arrest you

    • Those people are fools. Itโ€™s not a town square when it isnโ€™t even in town and is entirely someoneโ€™s private property with terms of service to access it from day one.

      yes, it's a business that's listed on public market. and town squares are supposed to be propped by taxpayer money, not investor money

    Free speech died with the passage of section 230.

    Iโ€™m completely fine with Facebook/Twitter claiming complete editorial control of their platforms and banning anyone they disagree with (which they do wholeheartedly). But like every single other form of media, they also need to be entirely accountable for anything said on their platforms (e.g. compliance with slander law).

    With section 230, Meta and Twitter are effectively state sponsored media monopolies that no other type of media can compete with. They both have direct political affiliations that actively support those monopolies. And thatโ€™s what ended free speech.

      OP
      i partly agree that these social media companies should own the editorial process and be transparent on what they allow or don't allow. their current stance is a cop out
