It was once said by a famous african dictator:

“There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech.”

― Forest Whitaker

So maybe it is like this. It's a funny thing to say, because in this mindset there is freedom literally to do anything. Consequences come after, minutes, hours, days, years, but after and not before, at least not until OpenAI-Google's new "PrescientCrimeCAItcher" comes online.

These "community guidelines" are quite frustrating because a major communication modality presently does not have freedom of speech, it has removal of speech it does not like. So that's an interesting loophole legalese-wise. Presently these are private sector companies running addicting entertaining boards from which they serve ads for profit. If these are instead made to be "utilities" like power or water, utilities of communication, I would imagine the calculus would change
