      We agree. Platforms cannot be forced to include every view. They must be able to pick.

      We can then evaluate them on how they do so. Freedom of speech is one criteria.

      Freedom of speech is less important than relevance in this situation.

      However, we might want freedom of speech on social media forums & pick ones which offer that.

      And if they ban someone for offensive views (which is their right) they should be strongly criticised

      Surely anyone can be criticized. But not on grounds of 'free speech', if it something else.

      It depends on whether or not your criticism is that their institution wld benefit from principle of free speech.

      If your criticism is that certain views are being banned in a place u'd like to see a free exchange of them...

      ...then you are arguing for the principle of free speech. Even whilst acknowledging their right not to uphold it.

          In such case I would call it differently to avoid confusion. Free Speech has a tradition not to be messed with

          No, honestly. I'm just fine w/ principle of free expression of ideas & not censoring any known as freedom of spchpic.twitter.com/8vG58JM1uB

          Then you may need different words for North Korea Long tradition is: "Free Speech" = "State stay out of it"

          I think we essentially agree on the substance - I may have semantic pet peeves that are too long for twitter.

          Perhaps bc of background, I am inclined to invoke "Free Speech" as last resort, and keep it as taboo otherwise

          I don't know what that means. You either support free exchange of ideas in places for exchanging ideas or not.
