    Free speech my ass.

    That’s not what free speech is. Freedom of speech prevents the government stopping you speaking, not private organizations.

        And yet, nobody who trumpets this as an issue really thinks hard about it as a philosophy. They just say stupid things like I am an absolutist, all speech should be free.

        Then they turn around and complain about being defrauded lol.

      prevents the government

      That’s the american legal version. If you think about the philosophical concept, it’s waaaayyyy more broad than this.
