Just like I'm free not to use Whatsapp, as long as I don't mind not being able to contact most of my family and friends.

And I'm free not to use Facebook, as long as I don't mind not having access to specific medical support groups which are only available there.

And Cloudflare, as long as I can stop using most modern websites.

And so on, you get my point.

>You can use whatever you like. They can also kick you off whenever they want. What bit of this is difficult to understand?

The "bending over and taking it" bit.

I don't believe platforms of a size and above should be treated to "they can do whatever they like" / "it's their way or the highway" standards.

I do believe users should have more dignity than to accept that.

Those mentioned platforms are big enough that it is not a free market anymore. Guess why the EU is going after them one-by-one.

censorship is still censorship just because a private corporation does it.... and it's not a free market at all, there are many regulations concerning these industries
