Deplatforming has expanded beyond extreme cases to banning entire categories of opinion, which is a dangerous trend that harms the principle of free speech.

“But the minute you start canceling stuff today as I sit in 2022, what I would tell you is I think it's very, very bad cuz it's going in a really bad place.”

Private companies have the right to curate their platforms as a commercial decision, even if those decisions regarding content moderation are eventually proven wrong.

“If they choose, like Pinterest and Twitter and YouTube and Facebook and Google, to change how their platform operates, Zach, I actually think that's a commercial decision made by a private company. They should have the right to do that.”

Large social media platforms are acting as a cartel to limit free speech, effectively digitally depersoning individuals, which undermines fundamental rights.

“When these big tech companies all get together as a cartel to deprive you of your free speech rights, you have been depersoned. You've been digitally depersoned. And they're not just doing it on speech, they're also taking away your right to engage in payments, in transactions, to earn a living.”
