I’m talking about things such as restricting hate speech, discrimination etc. Like we did with rule 7.

    Freedom of speech means they can’t arrest you for what you say, it’s about the government, not private platforms, in any case it doesn’t mean you’re free to say whatever you want without consequences, let alone that other people have to listen to you.

    A private forum banning you for example, is not limiting freedom of speech, they’re not the government, it’s exercising their right to not listen to you, regardless of how good or bad it can be.

      This. I find it interesting how many people don’t understand the concept of free speech and to whom it applies :-/
