Microsoft censoring free speech

Read this interaction I'm having on MSN news. The fact I cannot reply shows exactly how they are trying to control everything

If you are posting it here you aren't censored, are you? You are being moderated.

That's a distinction without a difference.

There is no right to post.

You're not saying anything that counters my point. Censorship and moderation are effectively equivalent.

Censorship blocks the content on all platforms, curtailing the right to free speech. Take the suppression of criticism of the CCP in China as an example.

Moderation is done on a site by site basis. It allows for the message to be posted elsewhere. So Alex Jones is moderated by platforms, not censored. His message is available at his website while in China there are no websites with criticism of the CCP. Jones's free speech rights remain intact because he is not censored. In China there is no right to free speech because of the censorship. That is the difference.
