"Allowed" by whom?
The right to free speech protects him from the government, not a content policy from a private company.
Free speech is a concept that exists outside the first ammendment or other laws. Pretending it doesn't is intellectually dishonest.
I mean, sure, it's a concept that exists, but so is the concept of, "Talk shit, get hit."
Concepts aren't enforcable. Laws and policies are. Please learn the difference.
Talk shit get hit is a pithy quote compared to millenia of philosophy on the importance of free speech.
I agree, which is why we have laws and content policies in order to enforce when free speech is acceptable or not.
