Living in a rural setting with farmers it is very important to learn how to communicate with someone who does not agree with you. I'm organic but some of my friends are conventional chemically. We both recognize that we are interested in having agricultural sustainable. So my conventional friends brag about the less chemicals they use and I brag about how little hay my horses eat. So we learn to get along.
My issue isn't with whether platforms should censor hate speech -- that is something best done within a robust legal framework, as you say. Whether they should profit from it is entirely another question, though.
I have no issue with refusing to support companies that profit from spreading any view I happen to disagree with. They are not entitled to my attention or to my money.
As for peer pressure about using such platforms, I can accept that people will make their own decisions about it. "I'm not a Nazi, but I'll help Nazis get paid for writing Nazi things" isn't a position of free speech, it's a position of being willing to help Nazis get paid for spreading their ideology. "Whether I'm on this platform makes such an infinitesimally small difference to whether Nazis get paid for writing Nazi things that I'm not willing to worry about whether I'm helping Nazis by being here" is also not a position of free speech, but it is entirely reasonable. So is "I'm going to avoid this platform because I think it gives too much space to Nazis."
Much politics has degenerated into moral positioning, or moral posturing. "I am the good guy, he is the bad guy; whatever I do is Right and whatever he does is Wrong". That isn't helpful at all.
There are two strands in popular politics. One is the tradition from medieval peasant and artisan risings: We are the people. The other is the tradition from medieval anti-clerical heresy: Bearing witness against sin. I think the latter has been allowed to run too dominant lately. There has been too much moralism, too much smugness, too much prudishness, and too little popularity.
Censoring is what totalitarian fascists do. If one accept it and even demand it, is like saying you need a handler. Someone else has to tell you what knowledge you can read or listen to.
G3P is fascism. Global public private partnership. Agenda2030 is a g3p - project by UN and WEF. Nobody has ever voted for Global government.
I have a slightly more positive view on the UN than you have (not as a global government, but as a global platform). I have worked with various UN agencies. I don't think the UN is driving much, it is more reacting to initiatives by others. The Agenda 2030 is a hotchpotch of stuff without coherence, and as limited value as its predecessor(s).
Public private partnership has SOME commonality with fascism, at least on its view of economics, but I would not agree that it IS fascism.
A short description of sdg 9 (not 13 as the title says). It is total fascism alright.
And anyone talking about it get in close contact with the shaming, censoring and guilt by association that is the tools of totalitarian parasites. youtu.be/-xQ4BW4wZcg

Fair points, even if it is hard to live by your standards "in real life".
