It always amazes me how many people just don't get freedom of speech as it pertains to the 1st amendment of our constitution. It only pertains to govt restrictions of your rights and the media's right to speak about things. In no way does a company such as Facebook, Twitter or even this website have to allow you to speak about anything you want. They can ban, delete and block you for anything they want at any time. And being a publicly traded company doesn't change that. Obviously there are certain things you can't say without being held liable for slander or defamation. For those who still don't get it go get a copy of the constitution!

Congress can't pass laws that abridge free speech. Congress makes laws that govern the formation of businesses. Those laws, according to the first amendment, cannot give businesses the right to abridge free speech. Otherwise the laws governing the formation of businesses are unconstitutional, and those businesses cease to exist. Without accepting this fact, you are saying Congress can't abridge speech, but they can outsource the abridgement of speech.

Free speech was a tool used by the left to subvert all institutions, and once it got power, completely censors speech and any contrary opinions. Free speech isn’t a good idea.
free speech is a moderator, otherwise you end up with extreme right or left wing autocracy

they subverted us all right, but freedom of speech slowed their progress, not accelerated it

How did freedom of speech slow the progress of cultural rot. That makes no sense. Freedom of speech was only allowed because our civilization has thrown off objective morality. There cannot be freedom of error tolerated in a nation that believes in objective morality. Morality isn’t relative. The alphabet mafia are all going to hell and they’re taking your children with them because of “freedom of speech.” The pornographers advanced their poison with freedom of speech. Prominent atheists advanced their causes with freedom of speech protections. Freedom of speech sucks, and would never be tolerated by any serious nation.

The alphabet mafia does not believe in free-speech what are you talking about? If you say you disagree with them they try to cancel you. Freedom of speech is speech that is dangerous allowed on both sides, and ignored by those who don’t agree with it, not stifled or censored.
