That is a curious way of seen things... Did the modern day ability to block users we don't like on social media made it such a "right" in our mind, that we view our bubbles of our own little universes as a right to take for granted and breaching it as a right never given? Instead of the right for free speech, we now demand the right for selecting what speech we hear and view the inconvenience speech we dislike as an entitlement for a right not had?
