only if it is a publicly owned corporation (which I don't know if it is or isn't) shopright could be a privatly owned chain, and therefore doesn't have any shareholders.
The whole freedom of speach argument that people throw out doesn't apply. Freedom of speach only applies to the government censoring its citizens, it doesn't restrict corporations from enforcing rules they want. Just like this website is not required (it is hosted in the US) to allow you to say whatever you want. Just like Neogaf censors users from typing VGChartz, shopright could too (as stupid as it would be)
