Yet, as many Americans use "Freedom of Speech" is incorrect, as the
First and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution is referencing that

The social media companies are not Government, but they are Government
protected. Therefore they are only semi-private. They have entered the
realm of public utility. And that invokes the realm of discrimination.
So either make them as [liable] as everyone else, or make them not
discriminate.
There is also the area of monopoly and antitrust, but I have varied
opinions regarding those.
We have never before had a president who incited a riot against our
capitol and then congratulated and thanked the perpetrators. So when the
media platforms ban that criminal, seditious behavior, it's because it's
criminal and seditious, not because a Republican is doing it.
The same principle applies to abortion clinic bombers -- those people
get arrested and prosecuted for killing and injuring, not for their
conservative beliefs. Nobody cares what they believe in the privacy of
their own hearts.
But in both cases the criminals whine about how unfair it is that they
should be charged and prosecuted for killing and injuring people, based
on the familiar legal principle of IOKIYAR. Baloney.
