The government cannot prevent your free speech. Companies can.
The newspaper is not going to publish your editorial just because you ask.
Twitter and Facebook have no obligation to have me as a customer.

The left-wing media outlets are starting to come down on Jordan Peterson like a ton of bricks, the last few days. I think he’s likely to be one of the next in line to be ‘unpersonned’ online.
It's a private business and they can do what they want right?
The problem is, they're so big and have so much control, they have the ability to shut people out. When CC processors and other services join in, it's more than just a private business choosing who to do business with. I would add Robert Spencer to the list below. None of the below people are raving lunatics spouting conspiracy theories. They're being shut out for speaking some uncomfortable truths. If the left takes control of government again someday, conservatives will be erased from the internet. Of course that might be the least of our worries as they may just try to erase us from existence. But hey, let's not complain. They're private businesses and can do what they want. Let's just sit here and wait to see what happens. The free market will fix things right?
Young Cons: Extremely popular conservative news site and received millions of daily readers during the election. The website received nearly all of its traffic from Facebook. Since 2016 Facebook shut down stories to Young Cons. Each algorithm change meant less traffic for the popular website. YoungCons was blacklisted by Facebook and struggles to maintain readers. The site regularly switches domains to save traffic.

Right Wing News: Right Wing News grew to an enormous website in the past few years thanks its popularity on Facebook. In July of 2015, in just a week, the Right Wing News Facebook page reached 133 million people. Because conservatives were sharing content they were interested in, Right Wing News (with 3.6 million Facebook likes ) was driving the same amount of web traffic as some of the biggest newspapers in America. Since the 2016 election Facebook blocked traffic to the website. Owner John Hawkins announced he was shutting down the website in January.
Western Journalism: Newsweek reported that the site has grown from receiving 1,000 page views a day in 2009[3] to more than 1 million during 2016.

This is happening all over the internet to average people. I’ve seen people banned for saying the word tranny, let alone suggesting they’re mentally ill. I’ve seen people complaining about the obnoxious and forced recasting of characters in media as minorities as racism, and pointing out if it was done to black or other minority characters with whites as a racist false equivalency. I’ve seen people banned for “race realism” for making formerly innocuous statements that there’s differences between races. The latter people are often apolitical average joes.
The worst I’ve seen, however, is all of the bootlickers defending this kind of Orwellian censorship because, “free markets bro”, and that 1984 is perfectly acceptable so long as the Thought Police have Google’s logo emblazoned on them. So many people are happy to be slaves, so long as a Corporation is the government’s contractor for Secret Police.
I think these platform companies (Google, Facebook, etc) are walking a fine line, whether they know it or not.
They are either common carriers or content providers.
If they are common carriers they have no responsibility for the nature of the content on their sites (posted by customers). They are now treated like common carriers.
If they are content providers they are responsible for all content on their site(s).
When they start taking control of content (banning users), they run the risk of being classified as content providers.
It’s entirely possible that their lawyers are telling them this is merely enforcing their own policy. But the Fed could step in. It’s a dangerous game for them, and they’re pushing the boundaries.
The cell phone companies are more aware of this issue because they replaced a true common carrier, the land line.
Exactly
Imagine their actions with. Dem potus and legislature
