A search for Threads content on Twitter currently brings up zero results, despite plenty of links to Meta’s microblogging rival being posted on the platform.

I mean, you’re free to speak. The article doesn’t mention banning anything, just not making it findable. There’s a difference.

A private citizen owning a social media company cannot “violate free speech”. That is like saying a newspaper is violating my freedom of speech by not publishing my article about flowers

That’s like, every kind of ban on the internet. If a mod deletes a post on Reddit it just becomes “not findable” for people outside of its OP.

The article isn’t suggesting this is a free speech violation.
