Free speech laws don’t apply to a corporations private forum.
Your free speech to speak, their free speech to moderate what goes on THEIR private forum. Goes both ways. You agree to this when you create an account to use said corporations service.
If you don’t like then it, then don’t agree to the terms of service.
BECH! 
U just sent each atom of wind from two lungs, I’ll let u guess which person’s.
Exactly.
Its pretty reasonable to expect that in a game made for all ages they would apply some form of filters and censorship for what people can say.
People advocating to remove these barriers in an all ages game through the lense of “free speech” know exactly what theyre doing.
It’s a forum for a video game, not a goddam political platform. Get over yourself.
Correct.
And the OP wants the government to compel the speech of corporations like Blizzard by forcing them to allow us to say whatever we want on their platform. Obvious to the rest of us, that would be a violation of the 1st amendment. Funny that.
“Tell me you don’t know the language of the Bill of Rights, without telling me”
Seriously, the First Amendment (freedom of speech/religion/peaceful assembly) only applies to GOVERNMENTAL censoring. That is to say: so long as your not doing things to disturb the peace or incite unrest, you can speak, on GOVERNMENT PROPERTY without it being censored.
This does not mean there are no consequences for what you say, so if you say you commited x crime, well bucko, enjoy the legal system.
This also has 0 bearing on private spaces, such as the property of a business, or, a forum which is not government controlled.
If you are going to make claims 'bout ‘Muh freedom’ at least read and know the language of the right you claim is being infringed on.
Also it would violate the 5th Amendment. In addition to the part about self incrimination the 5th Amendment says: “nor [shall any person] be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
Idk I got in trouble on here for saying Guild Wars 2
On the self incrimination bit, I believe that only applies when one is giving a sworn/compelled testimony, no?
anti-racist vigilance acquired, based take soldier. We got another rogue victim 
You should have deleted your thread after typing this.
Blizzard =/= Government
It’s their servers, their rules.
It’s no different than you kicking out a guest if they can’t follow your house rules.
If this was twitter/facebook(or meta idk what it’s called anymore) where it was a global or even national platform for discussing topics from wow to current politics I’d agree. I believe the term “hate speech” is wrong and creates silent malcontent instead of discussing the ideas and either showing they’re full of hot air or their acutal merits.
As a forum dedicated to wow though, a forum I need to pay money to acccess I’d rather not see F bombs such. Even as someone who uses strong language in Roleplay I do so sparingly and where it feels appropriate for the circumstances. I don’t like seeing mindless swearing there either.
I take far more umbrage with the idiotic “Member Trust” system used here that restricts my ability to post relevant screenshots than not being able to tell someone how I really feel about them.
I’m not sure that compelling a corporation to allow all speech on their premises could be construed as taking private property though.
Taking private property (thusly compensated) for for public use would be Eminent Domain
Blizzard reserves the right to classify the N word and other slurs/sayings as such, because constitutional freedom of speech does not protect a “Call to action” like yelling bomb on a plane or racial terrorism inciting commands.
Cuz people dont know how to act ? There for there needs to be rules like kindergarten
Think of it in a company/product sense.
Facebook is the product made by Meta, the organization. Or to keep it related, Facebook is to Meta what WoW is to Blizzard.
You can see how things like that turnout. Go into any community like that e.g 4chan or other forums with no moderation and you have a melting pot of racism and other hateful content.
You might be okay with that, but most people don’t want to be met with slurs as they go do their daily quest.
Honestly though, I see threads like this and my first thought is…
“Some of yall never had your mouths washed out with soap as kids for bad language, and it friggin’ shows” lol
My point is the term “Hate speech” is so nebulous that if it was decided tomorrow saying “I like mayonnaise” was hateful you could get nuked regardless of the context. That’s more of a twitter/FB thing though, blizzards rules are weirdly enforced and I usually just assume anything said can and will be taken out of context and punished. 
I don’t think hate speech like racial slurs and terrorist commands are on a nebulous scale bud. A call to action is definitively layered in historical repetition of consequence. You can’t decide tomorrow something would have years of context.
