Why do right wingers feel that private companies should not have the right to censor their hate speech?

I thought the right wing was for big business having absolute power over their customers and slaves I mean employees.

So, are you saying that if the roles were reversed, you'd have no problem with it? That if liberals were being censored and silenced, and it came out that the private company doing it was doing so at the behest of conservative controlled government agencies, you'd still feel like it was all cool because they're a private company?

The only time the want any oversight, is when it's not against them.

Also freedom of speech means the GOVERNMENT can't censor what you say. Private companies can do it all day long. So either follow the rules and stay, or don't and get kicked off or censored.

Oh, you again. The mudshark.

Because the 1st amendment applies to all. Period.

[jshm2]

Because they want companies to only censor everyone else, not them.

Right wingers are fucking stupid in that regard. They forget that in most cases it is their speech which contravenes the ToS or law, not others.

It would be so much better if they used the same insults as left leaning people, if the used the same insults left leaning people used toward members of SCOTUS after they made a decision leftists didn't like it would not have heen any more against ToSs and laws than when leftist used them

[vanilla69]

Because hate speech "laws" are literally a direct violation of the 1st amendment, dumbass.

Do you ever look in the mirror? I bet not.

While conservatives cry their crocodile tears, keep in mind it isn’t conservative speech being censored. No one is censoring anything on tax policy, trade, religious freedom, gun rights, or any other conservative viewpoint. What is being censored are the batshit crazy conspiracy theories and deliberate disinformation they seem to want to circulate unfettered. I have no sympathy whatsoever.
