“You don’t have free speech on another that is not yours. End of story. Stop pushing for more .gov to accept other views.”

Free speech is one of the important issues, but you are on the wrong side of it. Stop pushing anarchist views.

“I don’t have free speech at walmart, waffle house or facebook.”

Publicly traded companies are regulated.

“Outside of that .gov shouldn’t have the power to control and change private parties, or publicly traded companies. This comes down to private property, of which I don’t see you defending.”

Our tax dollars are used to regulate the investment banking industry. Our tax dollars pay for oversight. Our tax dollars go to regulate and implement consumer protection laws.

Imagine going to YourBank.com and applying for a loan and being declined because you posted a pro-Trump statement on social media. Or how about getting kicked out of college or having your degree revoked? Are you ok with that?

Companies that censor political and religious speech should not have access to public money. Take it private.

'Our tax dollars are used to regulate the investment banking industry. Our tax dollars pay for oversight. Our tax dollars go to regulate and implement consumer protection laws.'

So what. And .gov does a very poor effort in oversight. In the past .gov forced such businesses to make bad decisions, or businesses lobby .gov to change policies. That happens all the time. .gov shouldn't be in the business, nor do they have the power to tell a company to whom they can censor or not.

I can't believe I'm arguing with a FReeper on property rights, and he's not defending such rights.

We don't see eye to eye on this one. So go bake the dam cake. While your at it, try your freedom of speech at walmart. A nice, publicly traded company. Yep, that's not we need. .gov telling a businesses they must accept BLM on their property, either physical, or on a domain. Yep, a businesses can't prevent commies from being on their domain. We need more .gov is the cry from people like you. I disagree.
