I have every expectation that Lindell will start making exceptions to this policy as soon as Trump is triumphantly welcomed to the platform and immediately starts ignoring the terms of service.

Bets on whether criticism of Il Douche & Co. gets you banned promptly? I rather suspect that “free speech” is really “free to agree with me” speech.

I think that’s covered under “taking the Lord’s name in vain.”

Free speech is only “Asian-looking people gave you the coronavirus, which is fake, but also very real. Venezuelan socialist Democrats rigged an election our Emperor Daddy God King won by at least 10 million votes and you must peacefully but also violently overthrow the government. Transvestites are coming for your children.”

Depends on how much of an ownership stake Lindell offers.

Individual Number One’s speech isn’t free. Full of cheap shots maybe, but not free.

Jokes on Lindell, Trump will completely ignore his platform unless he’s given an ownership stake big enough he’s calling the shots and profiting from it. Lindell has been throwing himself at Trump like a lost puppy, and Trump is going to kick him to the curb because Lindell can’t do anything for him.

Every one of these platforms eventually runs into trouble. The exceptions he’s already making to the speech isn’t much different than other platforms (threats), except he also stuck his prudish moral rules in there, so he’s already one step behind them in the “free speech” category.

How soon before he’s regulating political views? (Imagine if the site got taken over by leftists who drowned out the voices he wants to promote?)

Regulating political views is the reason for creating the platform in the first place.

“Free speech is not pornography, free speech isn’t I’m gonna kill you.”

Nope, for Mike free speech is outrageous lies about election fraud that make other people want to kill/destroy/put everything on the line to defend the republic from shadowy figures who don’t exist.
