If I'm mistaken, you should provide a source for that not just tell me to go read a dictionary. But, I'm not.

It's pretty well established case law that private companies are more or less free to enforce their own platform rules as long as it doesn't discriminate.

Yeah that is the law, it has nothing to do with anything I said. I am very aware the first amendment doesn't apply to private companies and it certainly doesn't here because my country doesn't even have a constitution let alone amendments to it.

I was talking about people asking a private company for more censorship - if you read the Wikipedia article you'll see in the first paragraph it explains your misconception that censorship is only something governments can do. Private companies can and do do it, I think it's silly when people ask twitch to increase censorship because you'll all be crying when people can't stream gta6 because society got so slap happy on the censorship that murder, drug taking and crime got caught up in your crusade against seeing the human body.

  • and I did provide a source, Wikipedia. I trust you're not incapable of finding the wiki page on censorship are you?

I don't think you understand what the definition of censorship is. In either case, I'm not gonna keep arguing with you bcz its not really a fruitful discussion for either of us.
