Smokescreen. My point is that whatever "free speech" means, it's not limited to the scope of what's protected by the US Constitution.
But this is about US companies and US law, not hypothetical philosophy.
No it isn't. It's about Reddit. Read up the chain.
Yeah Reddit the private US company that is not beholden to preserving your free speech. That's the context. Are you functionally illiterate and cannot infer the meaning unless explicitly stated?
Not legally beholden. You realize that speech can be free or not outside of the context of the Constitution, yes? Like "free" and "speech" are just common nouns that can be used in other ways. You dumb motherfucker.
Can be. Isn't in this context though, it's about reddit having the legal right to ban your account.
Re-read the entire chain, their legal right to do it was only mentioned in your head
Ooh, you mean this part?
Aaaandd we're back to the whole "concept vs. legality" thing. Talk in circles by yourself, I'm out.
