Unless the government is somehow involved, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc.
aren't suppressing free speech. They have the right to censor whatever we
say, since it is their network we are using.

Conversely, we also have the right to not use such services that actively
censor.

Remember: On any service that relies on advertising revenue, the user is the
"product", and not the service itself. The customer is advertisers.
