Because its authoritarian & they can't possibly host everything everyone thinks is important.
I don't support individual's right to speak anywhere. That would be disastrous. I support free exchange of ideas in some places.

I've had four other people on my blog. I choose who I want to promote. That's part of my freedom of expression.

by "anywhere" I mean publicly. I'm not saying Joe Blow can speak on your blog, or my twitter, or anyone's private anything.
-
Well, it is only private organisations & companies we are talking about.
-
if someone wants to be racist, they start a private organization, etc.
-
Yes. Groups can focus on what they want to , hear from who they want and not from who they don't.
-
wouldn't it be more true to the principle of freedom of speech to disallow banning of speakers? That's what I'm saying
-
No. We cannot force private companies to allow freedom of speech & uphold their own freedom of expression.
-
They must be able to choose which speech represents their company *or* that freedom of speech does.

what I'm saying is it isn't a free exchange of ideas if they're banning people. A company isn't a person.

Of course not. A company can choose whether or not to uphold the principle of free speech.pic.twitter.com/SWlbDCZtD2
