«Me plugging my ears as I walk by crazy right wing protestors»
"Ahhh! You're not listening to me! You're not respecting my freedom of speech! And if you tell your friends that I'm an asshole and to avoid my ramblings, then you hate free speech!"
Allowing someone to post mean tweets isn't like that.
You don't have to click on their profile. So the metaphor of you having to physically walk past them doesn't apply. You can choose to not see them if they have a platform online.
What every social media platform is doing is censorship. Anything they don't agree with, even if it turns out to be right a few years down the line gets removed with no due-process and no oversight, by people that are accountable to no one, that no one knows the names of.
What's currently happening is that advertisers are pulling their ads from X/Twitter because Elon replied "This is the full truth" to a neonazi posting the Jewish question. I think if this is censorship, it's a form I agree with. What advertiser wants to be associated with nazis?
That's not censorship. That is literally just capitalism. You usually don't want your brand associated with Nazis, as that can be bad for business. Companies don't have morals, but they care about money.
