So sad they took over "liberalism". There's nothing liberty-like in cancel culture.

Liberalism is "they're a private company they can do whatever they want" and why we're in this mess.

Except that's not really the case because they're protected under that section 230. So they're a platform, but they also curate because they ban people. Otherwise everyone would be suing them into the ground. Liberty to cancel is a contradiction "in spirit", like saying people are free to murder, that's freedom.
