The problem is that when people that have been silenced build their own soapbox (Gab, Bitchute, Parler) they are denied the ability to make payments with credit cards or Paypal. It is only right leaning speech that is treated this way. Left wing speech is the default, mandatory speech in most US institutions.

Good. I don't see why we should be making it easy for bad faith actors to further damage our democratic institutions.

That's because the left doesn't rely on deception and dishonesty. Actual conservatism is still perfectly acceptable.

Only if you consider tolerance and rationality to be "left-wing speech".

The left relies on violence and destruction to promote their agenda. People that call attention to this do not deserve to be de-platformed and de-banked.

Misinformation is still misinformation, even if you fell for it.
