Lamentablemente muchas plataformas están limitadas por su propia estructura y algoritmos

And many people try to get you to limit yourself

Do you really mean this? Or are you baking in the limits to free speech that our societies have already performed, and so may not have felt what speech environment feels like without limits? Or are you saying what we have now works, no further limits to speech? Or are you saying we should remove the current limits? Spam is speech, shouting through a bull horn on the sidewalk outside your home at 3:00 am is speech, walking around in a placard with disturbing images on display around schools with minors is speech. Would you ever use threats of force or force itself to stop someone from doing these things if they were effecting you or your family? Waking up the baby, children come home disturbed, etc?

Yes, free association and ostracism… society itself condemns these behaviors… under statism this is impossible

Ok so you’re fine with limits to free speech as long as they are not imposed by the state. You just think those limits should be imposed by individual judgment.

You’re right

But it is for our own good! remember!

Always

Free speech with limits isn’t free at all. True freedom means the right to express any idea, even unpopular ones, without government or media interference. Once limits are imposed, it becomes controlled speech, not free speech.

Absolutely TRUE. If there are limits, they are not respecting you
