An edited meme image featuring two stills from MegaMind. The top still shows Titan speaking to a the mayor, who is labelled “TikTokers getting censored by China” and saying “You have freed us!” overlaid. Titan has a US flag as a label, and is saying “Oh, I wouldn’t say freed, more like under new management.”

    Legally permissable censorship is still censorship. Just because you’re allowed to do something doesn’t mean that it isn’t that thing, and it’s silly to argue that because someone is allowed to do something means that people can’t complain about it.

      Maybe, but the expectation that your can also speak freely on the platform is protected by the almighty capitalism compact we implicitly embrace as Americans and other (not all) 1st world citizens.

      Just because you think you have a right doesn’t mean you do.
