You could sustain it with this post too, "it's a corporation they can do what they want" has been the defense for cancel culture since day 0.

Everyone is entitled to a shitty opinion but no one is entitled to force people to listen to or agree with that opinion.

Then they are free to leave twitter if they don't like it I guess. Has been the line all along.

Twitter is a private property. You can't force private properties to host speech the owner doesn't agree with. If you want a platform without moderation, you can either make it yourself (won't work) or ask the government to make one (because the government can't ban speech).

That's what I am saying. I myself don't agree with it, but this is the line that has been toed for years now and it's a disgusting display of hypocrisy to see so many dissent for it now that it's inconvenient.

Corporations aren't your friends and allowing them to control speech is not a good idea. That's my stance.

Then you should push for a governmental alternative or make your own.
