rjf72's post is being down voted when s/he has an unpopular opinion, but s/he was just exercising your right of speech.

NBA is down voted by China due to its leadership and management's unpopular opinion in China, they were also exercising their right of speech.

Same logic?

No, same logic would be if someone funding HN threatens to cut ties if the mods didn't delete his comment.

Or the other way around, if the Chinese government would not take matters into their own hands and simply allow their citizens to boycott the NBA, then that would also be same logic.

Am I guessing correctly, that since you refer to it as "your right of speech", that you don't get to enjoy the benefits of it?
