Once *again*, for the people who cut 8th grade Civics too many times...the 1st Amendment grants you protection from the *government* prosecuting you for things you say. *That* is the one and only definition of "free speech" protection granted by the Constitution. Yes, you can say anything you damned well please. No, you are most definitely *not* protected from the ramifications that will come as a response to what you say. And no one else is required to help you spread your message on their property or via their platforms, as long as they're not discriminating against you for some explicitly prohibited reason.

It’s a business decision. It turns out having a guy in your establishment screaming threats and insults at children is bad for business. As others have said, if you ran a bookstore or managed an office and there was some lunatic shouting at the top of his lungs, you’d ask him to quiet down or leave. Facebook and YouTube didn’t deny him service, they suspended him after he abused the service.

He said Apple's Tim Cook is leading the attack on him. Is that a dog whistle way of saying the gays are against him? He also said the Fox News owners owners won't let the Fox News hosts speak honestly about him getting yanked off YouTube and social media.

Of course he's still allowed on Twitter that would imply that Jack Dorsey would have one ounce of courage inside his body.
