Explore the balance between free speech and platform policies with B.C. Dodge's deep dive into social media bans.

Did They Really Take Your Free Speech?

B.C. Dodge explores the intersection of free speech and platform usage in the digital age.

The debate over free speech on social media resurfaced after Laura Loomer handcuffed herself to Twitter’s headquarters, reigniting discussions about content bans and their implications for free expression.

While figures like Loomer and Alex Jones have faced bans on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, it’s important to remember that these are private companies with their own policies. They can enforce rules as they see fit.

As someone working in digital marketing, B.C. acknowledges the uneasy reality that platform policies could impact anyone. However, these companies are still private entities entitled to control their platforms.

Posting hate speech or violating terms of service can result in account removal. This applies universally, regardless of political affiliation. It’s not an infringement on free speech—it’s about using someone else’s platform.

Free speech guarantees the right to express ideas but not the right to access every platform. If removed, you still have the right to create your own website or share your message through other means.
