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....
