    Constitutional right to free speech does not equal a right to a platform for that speech. Disinformation should not be legally prosecuted but, it’s absolute horse shit to claim that social media companies owe it the same indifference as the government does.

    Stop conflating the legal right to free speech with the (non-existent) right to use someone else’s platform for said speech.
