People get mad over government censorship, but condone corporate censorship if it's something they want censored.

but when the corporation is slobbering all over the president's dick while it feeds his ketamine addiction, how is it different from a part of the government?

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!
