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?

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.

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.

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.
