A Word on the Subject of Censorship

For the past couple of decades, I've watched as conservatives kept getting pushed further and further out of online forums, and long-standing IPs were hijacked by the far left. And if anyone on the right complained, the resounding answer was that their right to free speech was not being infringed upon, because corporations are not bound by it. The First Amendment is only applicable to the United States government. It's not censorship if you're not being locked up for using it. 

Now, I'm a fan of Colbert, and I have no doubt that he is being shut down because of his comments on the great diseased orange urine sample who currently befouls the Oval Office. My point is not, "Suck it, libs, it's your turn." It's that maybe we should all admit that - especially when credit card companies are now dictating which video games can and can't be sold - there's more to censorship and the ideal of free speech than just whether or not you're arrested for it.
