Nah, downvoted because it doesn’t spark healthy discussion.

“What about freedom of speech?” isn’t a valid question because the article is about social media, not a government. There are no freedom of speech rights on social media platforms.

You expect Americans to actually understand anything about their own bill of rights? Seems unreasonable given how uneducated they are

Both sides, because both have extremist ideologies.

Freedom of speech is a government thing, this article is about organisations. It doesn’t apply.

That title reads like a drunkin Facebook post by someone’s 80 year old aunt.

Yeah, took me a couple tries. I thought mods were stopping “fuel extremism,” so like maybe people were talking about intentionally wasting gas or something, and mods were telling users to cut it out.

I got there, but it was a bit of word-salad at first.
