Free speech also entails how willingly you are to put that speech out there. If you want to cover it with a paywall of any sort, you are most welcome to do that. Keep in mind that free speech and its actions also have consequences. If your content is good enough, people might pay to see it. Free market and all that.
If you don't read our ads you don't believe in free speech?
On the contrary, I believe free speech gives me the right to JUST SAY NO. Don't give in, you have that right as an individual.
They are trying to appeal to "Red" tastes with this one.
Free speech = you have to listen to every capitalists crap
Free speech is dead. It's already tainted with hatred, violence and bigotry.
Who are you lying to? Your Adblock definitely is because you don't want ads, not for privacy.
It's a false dichotomy to manipulate users, they're so dumb lmao.
