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?

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 0 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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?

slow your roll. getting kicked off Reddit, a private entity, is not a violation of your free speech. having FBI agents show up at your door asking threatening questions about your Reddit history is.

Aaaandd we're back to the whole "concept vs. legality" thing. Talk in circles by yourself, I'm out.
