No one has a right to a private platform.

Facebook banned QAnon, so did Youtube. They can, frankly, fuck off.

Really? Because there is site moderation on hacker news too. I am sure if you breach them enough, you will find yourself unwelcome.

QAnon is free to start their own website and say whatever loony shit they want.

That's not my problem. Seems worse to force companies to do business with groups like QAnon.

Freedom of Speech vs Freedom of Association, which do you support?
