I am seeing a lot of divergent libertarian positions on this matter.
For some of us, like myself, it is a matter of freedom of association -
private organizations should not be forced to provide a platform for
speech they disagree with. For some it is a restriction on free speech,
as they see these large corporations as monopolies with too much power
to restrict speech. So I would have to see what was in the statement
before giving my thumbs up....
In Liberty,
