    Free speech my ass.

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

      prevents the government

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

        There is no interpretation of “freedom of speech” that forces a 3rd party to amplify your voice.
