And then here’s the always obligatory “it’s a private company!” that’s pulled out, despite these spaces basically making up our public square nowadays. As a leftist, it’s incredibly disappointing to see our principles just abandoned in mass.
You’re putting words in my mouth, I was letting you know that “censorship” as it relates to “freedom of speech”, the first amendment right, is not possible by a private company.

If you’re going to throw around phrases like “freedom of speech” and “censorship”, at least understand what they mean and how they work.

It isn’t “censorship” to not wanna listen to bullshit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, it’s “en masse”.
