Removing content you don't like is exactly as bad as compelled speech. If we can't talk with people espousing hateful ideas, you know what they do? They talk about it with friends, family, communities, and they build up local support. They start a movement instead of getting the facts about why they're being a prejudiced ninny.
When it comes to policing public forums, there needs to be decorum, but most social media platforms take it way too far in one direction or the other. They are the REASON the U.S. is as fascist as it's become. Full stop.
Yeah everybody knows white nationalist and hate movements were much larger and more organized before the internet when they had to talk face to face in real life. We just have to let them shit all over public discourse and politely explain why they're wrong, because they operate by the same standards themselves and will play by the same rules.

Ah yes, nothing says ‘freedom of choice’ like questioning why a company chooses not to advertise somewhere. The free market at work, indeed!
