I think that you are not allowed to speak freely on most platforms. And when i say speak freely i dont mean to have right to offend people, just to have right to normaly tell your opinion.

Freedom of speech is not just the right to speak into a void; it includes the practical ability to reach people. Dominant communities are the modern public squares. If you’re banned from these, your ability to participate in discourse shrinks dramatically because that’s where the audience is.

When a handful of people enforce rules unevenly or with bias, they shape what ideas can spread.
