Until now, I didn't think that it was a violation of freedom of assembly. Everyone says its free speech, but it is countered by, "well, we own this platform, its private property".
Its like saying, you cannot assembly in the public square, go assemble in your back yard. You own that, right? Doesn't work, because it is not where people go. Freedom of assembly means you can assemble where the public can assemble. When these platforms make it free to enter, it is essentially becoming the public forum; or the public square. Especially during Covid when we couldn't safely assemble physically in public, we did it online.
Another idea, if someone is blocked from using any financial network, how do they pay for food? Do you have the right to cut off someone from their ability to get food, and thus starve them and their family to death on the basis you do not like their views?
So, I don't like your views? Let me legally murder you and your family.
