A government has to full fill freedom of speech, not a social platform! Any platform can create it's own rules and ban users for not complying as simple as that..
It's not that you don't have "free speech", people/platform just don't wanna listen to your shit if you get banned.

LibreOffice 7.1 is just around the corner! It's due to be released in early February – and before then, you can help our QA (Quality Assurance) community to test it and make sure it's rock-solid: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.1

Nor was FB forced to spend vast fortunes lobbying against privacy rules that would limit its targeting ability.
People who want to kill CDA230, take note. Facebook agrees with you: they want a rule that forces its rivals to spend money they don't have on moderation.
If you want to hurt FB, look for the things that it lobbies AGAINST: privacy regulations and antitrust enforcement.

Join us and our guests live on Small Is Beautiful today (in just under an hour and a half) to talk about ways we can prevent the Googleification of schools. How can we encourage free and open ethical alternatives instead of normalising surveillance capitalism for the next generation?
(Have your webcam/mic/headphones ready if you want to join the stream or ask a question. We’ll give out the studio URL during the stream.)

In Pasco County, police assign crime scores to people, including minors, who they think might commit crimes—then harass them for years.
This predictive policing program is “the worst case scenario in our head, played out exactly,” says EFF's @mguariglia.

@Gargron Mastodon has provided me a first step in more digital sovereignty. It is very refreshing to have a timeline that you can fully control.
Moving to Mastodon felt like moving into a new village. You start with an empty timeline, and you have to actively work on your first connections.
After some initial effort, you are rewarded with meeting interesting people. They welcome you in their communities, and you can keep on discovering amazing people through the messages they boost!
