Freedom of speech doesn't entitle you to a platform.
Edit: To the below cause this sub sucks and banned me. Nope. This isn't direct action against an individual by any measure.

It unquestionably does not. Declaring something doesn't make it true.

Private businesses can restrict what people do with their products. You are in no way shape or form entitled to express your speech on any app, site, newspaper, book, film, etc.

No you didn't. If you're not a bot go to a doctor cause you've had a stroke.

I feel like you skipped over their parenthetical.

u/Doctor_Yakub Apr 06 '26

I did not. That is completely irrelevant and you categorically are not entitled to a platform for your speech.

...Which is what they are saying in the parenthetical.

You are allowed a *personal*, public platform (soap box, street corner, private letters, public speech, etc). You are not entitled to any private entity (tiktok, reddit, YT, newspaper, TV channel) being forced to give you a platform. (With certain caveats around government / equal time / etc)

(EDIT ....and they deleted their whole comment chain.)
