People get mad over government censorship, but condone corporate censorship if it’s something they want censored.
Going against an agreement you agreed to abide by is not censorship. If you don’t like the agreement, don’t agree to it.
It’s not illegal for the other party to include it, but it is absolutely censorship by any definition of the word.
If you’re stupid, yes. If you have half a brain, it’s not.
If you play in the MLB and take steroids, you get suspended, and if you keep taking steroids, you get a lifetime suspension. Steroids aren’t illegal. That’s not censorship. It’s breaking the rules and facing the consequences of breaking the rules.
If you’re stupid and think facing consequences for breaking a rule you agreed to is censorship, that’s on you for being stupid.
Steroids aren’t speech.
Reddit isn’t government.
Censorship is not just a concept of law.
Agreeing to be censored doesn’t mean you’re not being censored.
Lol. The pro-censorship crowd really is a sight to behold. Glad I’m not loyal to it!

You don’t sound anything like Dr. Zoidberg.

One is illegal, the other is not.

No. Nothing reddit is doing is illegal. When you sign up for a service like reddit, there is a TOS, which allows them to ban, warn, limit interaction, etc, at their discretion when terms of their TOS are violated.
If their TOS doesn’t allow pictures of butterflies, and you post pictures of butterflies, you will receive a warning. Continue posting butterflies, you’ll get banned, until eventually receiving a permaban. There is absolutely nothing illegal about it, because their TOS specifically states no butterfly pictures.

If they’re doing so in cooperation with or at the direction of anyone in government, it is also illegal.
If we’re talking first amendment, it allows for a lot.
It doesn’t allow for this. Already been ruled on.
Like abortion has already been ruled on, right.
Based on the text of the first amendment, it seems like a slam dunk to me to destroy free speech as long as it’s not Congress doing it.
There no constitutional amendment protecting abortion.
Nor free speech. That was supposed to be my retort, not yours.
It’s actually the very first amendment.
abortion isnt constitutionally protected.
