    “Allowed” by whom?

    The right to free speech protects him from the government, not a content policy from a private company.

      Free speech is a concept that exists outside the first ammendment or other laws. Pretending it doesn’t is intellectually dishonest.

        I mean, sure, it’s a concept that exists, but so is the concept of, “Talk shit, get hit.”

        Concepts aren’t enforcable. Laws and policies are. Please learn the difference.

          Talk shit get hit is a pithy quote compared to millenia of philosophy on the importance of free speech.
