    Nope. The right to free speech doesn’t include the right to a platform to spew disinformation on

    The government can’t remove you from a platform unless you’ve broken a law. That’s what I meant. Private companies on the other hand, that’s different.

    As for everything else I completely agree

      True, but nobody was suggesting that.

      Now that you mention it, though, repeatedly breaking laws against inciting violence DOES make that a legitimate course of action. As would banning hate speech and rigorously enforcing that ban.

      Exactly, so they aren’t entitled by the Bill of Rights to a platform at all.
