As much as I don't like hearing that so many companies having opposing views, if we boycott them, is that any different than their trying to silence us? Freedom of speech is about letting anyone speak their opinions freely - even those with whom we disagree.
They have the freedom to to voice their opinion, just as we're free to not shop there. We're not calling for them to be punished in any way other then revenue. We're not calling for their social medias to be erased or to be deplatformed.
You're right - "a boycotted corporation can continue to communicate, advertise, etc. in numerous ways."
A business that goes under because of a boycott cannot.

Are you joking? We have a right to freedom of speech. They dont have a right to our money. Wtf are you talking about?

We're not silencing them. Hows that not obvious?
If the business were to go under because of a boycott, you'd essentially be deplatforming them.
Yes, the chances of that actually happening are minuscule, but the point remains.

Shill account is obvious. But I'll entertain. The company chose to alienate their customer base. That's whats called a poor buisness decision.
We are allowing them to speak and engage in society. We just aren't engaging back.
How can you equate that to deplatforming conservatives, from social media, banks etc aka not allowing us to engage in society?
A corporation needs to be more thoughtful. We the people are the ones that keep them in business.
