Of course it's suppressed and it shouldn't be, private companies need new laws in this day and age that allow people to share there opinions within the feame work of the law of the country the user is in and not on their own shoddy rules that they can change on the fly. It's a new age and we need new laws the same as back in the day when the free world implemented these rules. For years people died to the Catholic Church to pursue knowledge and science, wars were fought and many died to uphold our feeedoms since then and that should not be ignored, we need to uphold what they died for and not regress.

Meh, Trump suppresses free speech on Truth Social, Elon suppresses free speech on Twitter/X.  Anyone that cries about free speech, doesn't actually believe in free speech for everyone.  Trump just recently said "Americans who criticize the Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade should be imprisoned: “These people should be put in jail for the way they talk about our judges and justices”.  By the way Trump criticizes judges all the time, so I guess he just mean other people not him.

If that is true, my point stands. They need to be held to the laws of the country for better or worse, some countries have oppressive caveats to their free speech like in the UK. I don't give a shit what Trump or Musk are doing, free speech is a basic human right in the western world and things need to be rectified in the new digital age.
