    I'm sorry, I thought you knew what censorship is.

    companies shouldn't be allowed to censor, and yes it would be nice if governments prohibited them from censoring, especially if their service is a publicly accessible expression platform.
    How very Marxist of you.

    forget about government versus corporation. a totalitarian is a totalitarian is a totalitarian. I guess I am for despotic defense of the bill of rights.

    What you essentially want is nationalization of corporations. That can easily lead to real Totalitarianism, not the fake kind that you're talking about here.
    What you're saying is that a person should be forced to give a platform to anyone who wants it in their own private property, thus eliminating private property. Much like Marxism seeks to eliminate private property.

    Regulations in the form of forcing people to give a platform to anyone on their own private property. Comparing that to workplace safety is just silly.
    You might not want to call that nationalization, but I'm sure you know this would mean no more private property. It would also mean that the richest corporations would have even more control. If you have a small business, a larger business can force you to let them promote their business at your store. CNN could force Alex Jones to run commercials for them. Wouldn't you hate seeing that while getting your news?

    jimmycreedy did. Since you defended him on it, you likewise don't know what the word means.

    My apologies. You DO know what totalitarianism is. However, the word is not a proper noun. It is not capitalized.
