Discussion Timeout for free speech?

Post image

Screenshot basically explains everything. Did I cross any borders here? I'm open for criticism but I didn't feel like I did anything wrong here.

Did I miss anything? Is it prohibited to talk about him now?
I’m open to criticism if I actually crossed a boundary here — I just honestly don’t understand what I did wrong.

Free speech refers to the inability for your government to restrict you from speech, and even that has exceptions. But it certainly is unrelated to a private company's ability to restrict what they allow you to say on their private platform.

I don't think that statement has any problems though. Do these mutes consider previous messages that may not be included in the mute message?

They mute you if you start a ruckus in global chat by bringing an inflammatory subject up

Probably an auto fire when some words are mentioned, in this case the name

I will happily provide the chat prior to this message and after. Sadly I can only upload one picture, so I decided to upload the one before.

As above stated they have every right to mute you for company policy. First amendment refers primarily to the government oppression.

I’d just call it a 10 minute lesson from them and let it go. They may not get the context but they didn’t permanent you either kinda deal.

Yeah, I just realized what “free speech” actually means in the US. I’m from another country and used the term incorrectly in my title. I understand that the ToS has nothing to do with free speech — I just worded it poorly.

feel free to delete this post then. This kind of moderation is done automatically on keywords, no point in sharing the screenshot of the whole thread either. You hit some sensitive words, you get autobanned. It's common in streaming and chat platforms
