If you see somebody claiming that only government can threaten free speech, they haven't the faintest clue what they're talking about.

Or to put it another way, that xkcd comic about free speech that twits are so fond of... it's sophomoric nonsense.

I don't think that's what the comic says though. Just tackles the idea that not being platformed on private property is anti free speech.

A point that is entirely wrong (and sophomoric).

There's a difference between choosing to provide a platform for expression and being obliged to provide one to people you don't like.

A recent example: Google has every right to keep someone from using their intranet to share what was essentially an overlong reddit post.

So if Google refused to feature say material from Black Lives Matter in its search results... No free speech implications?
