some people misinterpret "freedom of speech" meaning universal freedom of speech. all it mandates is that the government isn't going to punish you for saying shit. It does not protect a person if other people punish them for saying shit.

You also aren’t entitled to a platform. A website not letting you post something isn’t about “freedom of speech.”

Another way to say that is: Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences your speech elicits in others.

Freedom from government censorship, not freedom from societal shame.

I have written a memorandum that punching of nazis shall not be prosecuted if the person punching a Nazi is a sitting anyone.

I have also decreed that, by the laws of there no longer being laws, you may also slap, kick, purple nurple, spit on, or cause them to cry for mommy in any way seen fit in the process of de-nazification

My bet is it's a trick to justify themselves to their dumbass fanbase later on. "They censored us for years, now we're in power it's only fair that we get to arrest people who criticize us!"
