    Why wouldn’t you want free speech protection to be regulated to private companies as well

        Just because you get to a public park in a privately operated taxi doesn’t mean the park is suddenly private. It would also be absurd for the taxi to have a say in how you spend your time in the park.

        I also refuse to trust that any private corporation would have my best interests at heart, or that they would not use the excuse of policing hate speech to also interfere with discussion against their corporate interests.

          The taxi has a say in how you spend your time in the taxi, however

          If you enter the taxi and the driver sees that you’ve got a shirt with a swastika the driver can tell you they’re not taking you for this reason.

        I didn’t ask that, I asked why wouldn’t you want that?
