Again: Free speech is a two way street.

There's no censorship, just people not following the community guidelines (which they accepted when they signed up for whatever social media site they use)

Where I'm from censorship is specifically when the state decides to jail you or in any other way prevent you from saying stuff. Private businesses can do whatever they want, which is honestly fair, because that's the main playing rule for a free market, which, ironically, is something far right people seem to enjoy.
we're talking about the biggest social media we have today. twitter, youtube, facebook, just because they're a "private business" shouldn't give them the right to dictate which speech is allowed and which isn't.

i understand that they're following the law but that doesn't mean it's morally right
but facts are they CAN do whatever they wanna, regardless of if you like it or not, the guidelines are hella long yes but if you can't follow them, it's a ban

dumb as it may be, it is what it is

why did you even get banned on twitter?

That's the rules of the free market babey. If you want the government to regulate it more, then you should maybe reconsider your political stance because that doesn't sound very right wing of you.

Life isn't fair. Neither in morals nor in law.

You'd have to be specific because I've got no clue how this question popped into your mind from me saying damn, unless you mean why I'm asking if you're a Libertarian

Well, the only way for private businesses to stop their current practice is if the law is changed and there is more regulation on it. How else would you change it lmao?

the situation in the UK is honestly such a freak show. and that's while ignoring that the Brits somehow voted for Boris Johnson in the first place, it's truly beyond all comprehension.

i already said that they CAN do that but that doesn't mean i agree with it.

i think they're in the wrong and i hope that will change in the future (and i believe it will) although it might take some time
