    “Opposing beliefs” is often just coded language for extremely offensive, factually inaccurate, demonstrably dangerous, and often indefensible speech. Social media companies aren’t obligated to keep posts about Jewish space lasers, Holocaust denialism, and pro-fascist ideologies on their servers.

    Social media advertisers don’t want their product advertisements appearing adjacent to batshit, nonsensical, conspiratorial, alt-right bullshit.

    Having a Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or Instagram account isn’t a right and having it taken away doesn’t make you a victim. Nobody owes anyone else a platform to spew toxicity to the masses.

    I’m using the royal “you” btw. I’m not saying you, specifically, are a Trump supporting crybaby.
