I can’t believe people really support restricting free speech, it blows my mind. Is it a generational thing? He’s plainly a bit dense, but even if you don’t consider it freedom of the press, it’s just one guy talking rubbish. And he’s far from the worst!
To confirm, no, I don’t listen to him. But other people can if they want.
Deplatforming isn’t restricting free speech.
How is deplatforming restricting free speech? He can still go on the street corner and spout his nonsense.
Rogan is an utter piece of filth and trash. You should more explicitly say that rather than your milquetoast description of him.
The Milky Bars are on me, femme lit.
Free speech means that the government can’t silence citizens outside of specific protections. It doesn’t mean that private companies are required to give you a microphone. I highly doubt Spotify will take Rogan off the air anytime soon considering how much money he makes them, but if they did it wouldn’t be restricting his free speech in any way as there are a magnitude of other places he can talk, from other online platforms to a soapbox on the corner of 5th Ave.
Said this elsewhere but the private company bullshit is a weak argument. If a private individual owned 5th Ave., would it mean there was no freedom of speech there? Are we “pro” private property suddenly? I really don’t understand the inconsistency here.
What’s your address? Id like to stop by and spew hateful racist bs from your front lawn. I’m sure all your neighbors won’t think you are also a hateful racist just because I’m doing that on your property. Please make sure the megaphone is setup for me.
As if I own property! But if you want to pop round, I’ll put the kettle on.
