    You seem to be against letting people control who says what on their own servers.
    It’s not a stretch to imagine you want that enshrined in law.
    Forcing someone to keep content available on their own servers by law is forced speech, because refusing to serve content from their own servers is a form of speech (assuming you’re American, because, yanno) (in this case, the forced speech was deemed legal, but still forced speech).

    You’re saying you’re not just for the freedom of speech (government cannot silence you) you’re anti-censorship (nobody can silence you), which means nothing without the ability to protect it.

          If you’re censoring someone then you don’t want free speech. If you’re hosting a platform for discussion and you start banning people and deleting posts etc, you’re being authoritarian and you are demonstrating that you don’t think free speech should be allowed.
