Best regards,

your title is a gross exaggeration

even this site has posting rules
nice how tweety supporters copy his distortions and lies

What rule is in question? The post was not an attack on a site member, nor was not threatening in nature. The post was directed at an ideology. The fact that you condemn this view point in that manner reaffirms the premise of the thread.

It's perfectly reasonable to squelch speech you don't like. As long as it's lefties shutting down the right.
The point is Not that it's a constitutional issue. The point is

The left are deplatforming people who disagree with them. Social media is owned by lefties.
What is being done is Wrong.
But not unconstitutional.

Freedom of Speech doesn't apply to Twitter. Never has.

I'm not so sure. If it were a protected class of minorities getting posts deleted and band all together, I believe a much different course of action would be established. Law suits are already pending....

It's been established quite well for over a century how the 1st Amendment applies to private business.

What you are describing is "Discrimination", which is technically covered in the Bill of Rights.

Letting someone say anything they want on your radio station, TV show, or Social Media platform has never been allowed. Private companies can control the content distributed through their platform, like FOX News, or Zerohedge for instance.

They do not have to let anyone use their news platforms, at this time, because of Freedom of Speech, it is that simple. A group of minorities would have to sue for other reasons, not Freedom of Speech.

Oh yea, then why can't a baker refuse to bake a cake? Depending on whose in charge, private can quickly become public. In our cyber world of today, issues get complicated quickly.

Also, my opinion is any conservative applauding Louis Farakan getting banned (from whatever he was banned from) better rethink things. I'm not in favor of censorship on this forum either.

Think back when our moderator was opening his skirts and letting our friend, who degraded this forum, hide behind him. He had the power to censor speech. Now, this little forum is just a microcosm of society at large. Social media allows large groups geographically miles apart to "join" in a single room. Letting the Facebook guy or that Twitter guy decide what is or isn't protected speech is dangerous. How long until someone who says "the effects of climate change are being overstated..." is banned due to the influence of very lucrative climate change industry?

Essentially, someone gets to decide who has the last word and that should be a very rare event.
