WTF is wrong with you? It is Facebook, Twitter, and the rest that are imposing censorship and that is un-American and no better than the Stalinist regime and Pravda. Free enterprise my ass.

Free enterprise my ass.Facebook and Twitter are private and are allowed to have rules. No one seems too interested in revoking their 230 status. It's un American that no one is smart enough to compete with them.
Do you think I can force Lew Rockwell to post an essay I submit about how big an asshole he is ? If not, is it censorship ?

That's all they have in common.
Telephone is peer to peer private conversation. The owners (peers) have a right to control the content of their conversation. Is hanging up on someone "censorship"

You are the one that said Facebook and Twitter are private and can do what they want. So companies don't have to serve naygurs either, right?
