> is my free speech being impeded because Twitter allows these people to block me?

of course not. if you choose to block me, i am not prevented from communicating with others.

> What about the algorithm, if Instagram's stories feature tries to show new videos based on people's interests, can I sue them for not showing my videos to other people?

the algorithm is the problem: if you subscribe/follow, you should see all the content (this is how facebook used to be).



TikTok is only as big as it is because of its efficient and useful algorithm/'for you' page. It's a testament to the fact that even the small amount of friction introduced in signing up and managing a friends list is too much for most people.


What if I agree to let Twitter block people for me in order to make the platform a better experience?

When you sign up for a service that moderates content that's what happens.
