Ok, and? Why does this guy deserve a platform? He has a right to speak but he doesn't have a right to a megaphone. Why don't conservatives get this? You're not entitled to someone else's site or service. Just as I can kick someone out of my house for saying something I don't like you can get kicked off a website for the same reason. The first amendment protects you from the government and violence not people telling you to shut up |
I think this is a consequence of the entitlement many feel in this era of social media. We have taken internet and social networks for granted that some of us seem to sometimes confuse them with free speech. We should demand more from our governments and never confuse them with private companies but it seems to often be mixed up by some people. That said, it´s up to Sam Harris to cancel his account for whatever reason he has, that´s the power of us as consumers. I don´t buy his reasoning though.
