 If you come into my house and say stuff I don’t like, I don’t have to let you stay. Why is a company platform any different?

 because your house belongs to you. a citizen. and it’s your right.
what youre suggesting is that a group of citizens has the right to override constitutional rights for profit. because youre money driven, not freedom driven.

 I can’t figure out if you’re trolling. 

I’m a citizen who owns a home. I also own a business that has a website. If I turned it into a forum I could absolutely block or censor speech I didn’t like, because I own the business and the website, just like my home. 

Private property is private property, no matter the entity that owns it.
