This is just plain retarded. Websites are not homes, they are platforms. These platforms operate as public squares, which means they fall under the protection of free speech. There is no private right to censor the public. The vote with your wallet adage is equally retarded when the government has allowed these companies to become monopolies and dictate as the public square. Your comments can be editorialized by the website, so if they choose to do so, it would make them an editor and publisher. Once again you keep throwing away any responsibility the companies have to the constitution and the law.
Why should the public be compelled to act a certain way in order to access what is deemed the public square? You keep arguing that these companies are 1 a private entity, which they are not, they are publicly traded. 2. Anywhere deemed a public square is held to the freedom of speech in our constitution, do you believe people should be denied access to public transportation due to their beliefs? How about water, food, and housing? All are technically private enterprises under your argument, should they be allowed to starve people, evict them or let them die due to their beliefs? How about hospitals? You are being intentionally obtuse at this point. You have not made anything close to an argument or even answered my first statement in why you believe these companies should be free of the responsibility every other company is held to.

You keep parroting the same bullshit, either make an actual argument or concede.
