Yes. We can despise and loathe mightily some speech, but it is free. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Dec 2022 #6

On one hand, Apple, Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc etc, are free to make and enforce the rules. And I feel like it's mainly left to the people to decide what the lines that shouldn't be crossed would be, and that hate, intolerance and violence would be it. But then you get into the whole policing speech argument, and I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole.
