"If you say something on the internet and the Democratic party tells the platform to remove it, it's just one private entity interacting with a private company and they can do what they want"
In the most crude analysis they're not wrong, but it's far more complicated than that.

"Private company" is their loophole for everything.
I call it a jewish trick.
Companies are made up of people. Governments are made up of people. The same people, taking the same stupid meetings, sending emails to each other, and occasionally switching sides are trying to punish us. I don't care which side you present as today, jew.
