So again who gets to decide what speech is allowed? If you want to truly wide open discussion site you have to put up with the good and the bad, otherwise you can’t claim you are all for free speech. A lot of people demand free speech but yet when the kooks and the radicals show up, oh no we can’t allow that stop them.

By the standards of many today Patrick Henry would be in deep doo-doo for railing against a corrupt and odious government.

“So again who gets to decide what speech is allowed?”

The person or persons who own the medium.

No one *owes* you or me a single electron of connectivity, no newspaper owes you or me one column-inch. Sure, if we’ve paid for something and aren’t in violation of a contract we’ve agreed to, but Twitter, FB, every newspaper, Amazon, private entities.

Freedom of the press is strictly the privilege of those who OWN one.
