Inconsistent Property Rights, and Social Media Censorship


I've been seeing some people ask why Republicans are doing nothing about social media censorship, and calling them cowards, or stupid, for leaving it alone. I think that perspective demonstrates a lack of understanding of the Republican application of property rights. It's akin to calling Republicans cowards or stupid for not banning guns after a mass shooting. Or, on the other side of the political spectrum, it's like thinking Democrats are stupid for wanting to legalize the drug or sex trade. All of these are questions of property rights, and because most people apply them inconsistently, they think those who apply them differently than they do are stupid. I wanted to address the inconsistent applications of property rights from the left-wing, right-wing, and moderates, and my frustration with the desire to get people back on to platforms which don't respect your free speech rather than letting companies that do fill that niche.
