Conservatives would like to control all speech if possible.
No it’s the liberals that are against free speech.
It's actually the far left that desires to cancel comedians, people who speak out and speak their minds.
once again, you lefties accuse others of what you are doing.
The "far left" brings what people say to other people's attention. It's up to those people to decide whether to keep funding them or not.
Exactly so why are the left losing thier shit now that elon is enforcing the rules unilaterally instead of unidirectionaly
Same for antivaxxers in a private business space, like grocery store. They just don’t get it.
The problem is that the government was directing these platforms to silence people.
No. It was capitalism who directed these platforms to silence people. Because brands wants their products to be advertised on a platform that makes them look good, not next to insane ravings of nazis and racists. Its bad for business.
Then they should have blocked leftists and not conservatives.
They block what is losing them money. Turns out, that is mainly conservatives.
Only because conservatives don't boycott companies that they disagree with.
It was conservatives that first made boycotts a big thing, its just that the left is much better at organizing people than the right wing will ever be. Either way, you just proved that it is capitalism that silenced these people and not the government.
Capitalism doesn't silence people. Companies in league with the government isn't capitalism, even though it is often called crony capitalism.
Capitalism does not silence people? Really?
Lets say you were sponsored by a company. Do you honestly think that they will allow you to say anything they want if it can harm their brand?
As long as I don't talk about who employs me I can and often do.
I talked about sponsorship, not employment. The whole point of sponsorship is that you spread the word of who is sponsoring you.
