Which isn't censorship.
If I told FreeRepublic that you were giving out false information so I demand you get kicked off FR or I would leave the platform and then go to the FR community and get them to join me in getting you off FR, would you consider that trying to censor you? Would you feel like we are trying to cancel you? I sure would. I personally would never do that to anyone. Neil Young did.
The tag on the article says:
Ted Nugent slams Neil Young, Democrats, censorship, liberals, Marxists, commies and prasies the truckers in Canada.
It doesn’t say in that tag that Ted is slamming Neil young for censorship. It also doesn’t say he’s slamming Neil for being a douchebag. I showed through inductive reasoning and your tacit approval that Neil IS a douchebag. So let’s use the same kind of reasoning to prove that Neil is acting out of censorship on top of being a second class douchebag.
Neil isn’t denying that he is a censor so he must be a censor. He’s encouraging others to be censors as well. If it walks like a censor, sings like a censor, looks like a censor, and acts like a censor, it’s probably a censor.
Neil is a douchebag and engaging in censorship.

Of course not.
I have a right to speak but not the right to speak on Jim's property if he doesn't want me here.
If you can convince Jim to kick me off I'll cope and I'll still be free to speak elsewhere.
I personally would never do that to anyone.
Good, but that has nothing to do with censorship.

CBS News addressed the ongoing targeting of Joe Rogan for censorship, suggesting that the podcast host is killing people by spreading COVID misinformation.
While claiming that they are in favour of free speech, the talking heads on CBS Mornings declared Rogan’s show to be “dangerous.”
“You have a First Amendment right to say what you want. You don’t have a First Amendment right to appear on a platform as large as Spotify, that’s the issue,” said one of the script readers.
After flashing up a graph showing rates of unvaccinated hospitalisations (figures grossly distorted by the lack of distinction between people admitted WITH and DUE to COVID) the gaggle agreed that the virus is a “life and death issue,” urging that Rogan should be silenced.
One of the bunch argued that you can’t just ‘turn off’ Rogan’s show because too many people won’t do that, they will continue to listen, suggesting that the only course of action is to completely silence Rogan.
Watch:
Watch as ‘CBS Mornings’ suggest Joe Rogan is killing people via his podcast when talking about Covid, implying he’s responsible for their deaths.
They add they SUPPORT free speech & the First Amendment — just not for Rogan to have *A* platform, calling his show “dangerous.” pic.twitter.com/dzONwcPhVh

CBS and the rest of the media (sponsored by Pfizer in many instances) are pumping out the exact same narrative regarding Rogan, while declaring that their own few thousand viewers are “more enlightened” than the millions that Rogan regularly pulls in, trouncing the ratings of even the most popular TV news outputs.
all he did was say “I don’t wanna play here, if you continue to put out info that billions disagree about without a disclaimer”
Spotify said fine, Neil said fine
what’s the problem here people?
It is a curse.
Oh, cool, jojo354, getting his @$$ kicked off FR would not be considered an act of censorship so let’s do it. After all, he would not see it as an act of censorship so it wouldn’t be an act of censorship.
Joe, pro bernie sanders is a Patriot! /s
:)
all he did was say “I don’t wanna play here, if you continue to put out info
***Then counter the info. Neil is a SINGER. Those 2 dudes on Joe’s show were renowned DOCTORs.
that billions disagree about
***Billions? Bullshiite. And since when did truth become sumthin that depended upon billions to agree on? Facts are facts, regardless of how many billions think that the sun revolves around the earth.
without a disclaimer”
***Then there should be a disclaimer on anything ever said on any platform, ever. Captain Obvious is having a field day.
Spotify said fine, Neil said fine
***Neil was bein’ a douchebag, so Spotify said “fine, be a douchebag.”
what’s the problem here people?
***Plenty of problems. Mostly that Neil is being a douchebag hypocrite and should just shut up and sing. Spotify’s Market Value Rises Amidst Rogan-Young Controversy

Part of a definition of censorship, from the ACLU of all places: censorship can be carried out by the government as well as private pressure groups.
You know not only governments can censor, right? Neil was pressuring Spotify to censor Rogan. Just because Rogan might have other outlets for speech does not mean he would not be censored.
Just because Neil says it’s not censorship, doesn’t make it so. If he really didn’t want to share Spotify with Rogan, he could have left quietly. The pressure campaign is what makes it censorship.
fauci is a renowned dr, whats yer point?
does anyone like his stink?
You obviously are implying that a person who likes Bernie can’t be a patriot. Is that what you are saying here? The dude is engaging in free speech, like a patriot. The dude brings on both sides of the story with respect to this bullshiite pandemic, which is patriotic. The dude seems pro-America even though he’s a libtardarian — bein’ pro-America is patriotic.
Neil, on the otherhand, is a pro-censorship douchebag hypocrite. I would question his patriotism.
he did leave quietly, yall are making the stink
Bernie is a self avowed communist and joe supported him for president. capiche?
fauci is a renowned dr,
***Then it makes sense to invite him onto that podcast and defend himself. With other doctors present to catch him in his renowned bullshiite.
whats yer point?
***I STATED my point. What is YOUR point?
does anyone like his stink?
***You’re trying to use the tactic of diversion and obfuscation, otherwise known as a classic fallacy. If it’s so important to you to talk about how stinky Dr. Fauci is, then start your own thread on that subject.
Joe is a commenter exercising his first amendment rights. Capiche?
Neil just boarded the establishment train to singing, “Hey hey My my, all your freedoms have to die.”
Don’t ever support his piece of turd. He’s doing it because of the money. The globalists will financially support him like they support the MSM. They are the cash cow that Neil bows and grovels to. Grind them all up into hamburger.
