Philip Rearden: “They pursue a ruthless, grabbing, grasping, antisocial policy, based on nothing but plain, selfish greed. [...]” [...]
Hank Rearden: “Philip, say any of that again, and you will find yourself out in the street, right now, with the suit you've got on your back, with whatever change you've got in your pocket, and nothing else.” [ . . . ]
Philip: “But don’t I have any freedom of speech?”
Hank: “In your house. Not mine.”—Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, “The Concerto of Deliverance”
Hank Rearden’s words need to be repeated to every person who, feeling aggrieved that Facebook doesn’t want to publish his diatribes against Mexicans, pouts that Mark Zuckerberg just owes it to him that Zuckerberg provide him a platform for his diatribes against Mexicans, and demands that the government overrule Zuckerberg’s control over what Zuckerberg peaceably created. The house that is Facebook was built by Zuckerberg; it was not built by the man who wants to use Facebook just to air his endless diatribes against Mexicans.
