That's a stupid thing to say because the opposite is not true either. Just because you get banned from a webforum or Facebook does not automatically mean it's a free speech issue. Sometimes it really is just people getting fed up with BS and stop enabling idiots.

That comic is written in the context of a certain discussion and is not an attempt to cover all things free speech. It's not stupid. It's just a limited view for a limited context.

I also kind of fail to see the big boogeyman you keep saying we should be worried about. Conservatives control all branches of government and several media outlets blasting out such shameless propaganda it would make Pravda blush. The White House is a platform of racist rhetoric and implied white supremacy. I kind of fail to see how free speech for the conservaties is something we should be super worried about right now.
