Free speech just means government can’t punish you for saying it. Doubt OP meant it’s the government that should be doing the removing.

Fascists don’t care who does the removing.

Free speech means freedom to speak. Just because you enjoy suppressing speech as a private individual doesn’t mean you are pro-free speech. It means you are anti-free speech and delusional.

Lmao read the constitution buddy. You can stop after the first amendment, you don’t really need to get that far.
And if you’re free to speak, I’m free to shut you up…it’s my freedom of “speak”

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Read that again, slowly, and focus on the first few words. "Congress shall" not billy bob in his backyard.

Free speech is a right wing talking point.

It’s certainly not Reddit wing.

Every single person on this site advocating for corporate censorship knows that the false image that they hold a majority opinion depends on it.
Reddit is full of fringe left wingers who can’t compete in the realm of ideas without censorship.
