That's up to the owner of the megaphone.

If the megaphone owner doesn't want you to use it, create your own.

And there’s the expected bootlicking. You went from complaining about who gets access to the megaphone, to openly praising government censorship coordination.

Maybe if you want more censorship so bad, you should take your own advice and start your own platform.

Sorry, I was busy gagging on a boot or I would've responded sooner.

The rise of fascism across the United States is partially because they've been allowed to coordinate, and are public and loud with their normalization of hate.

Free speech absolutionists quickly run up against the paradox of tolerance. And at that point you get to choose. Do you want the most tolerance society or do you want full freedom of speech?

If you think you want full freedom of speech, then you don't understand how people will abuse that to take it away from you anyway.

Barriers to entry and the first-mover advantage make that impossible.
