> I have the freedom to read what I want. You're telling me I don't

You don't. This is not a legally protected right in any US jurisdiction. Period.

> This isn't about freedom of speech

Correct, because this isn't speech and "freedom of speech" does not mean what you think it does. The right to freedom of speech enumerated in the US constitution is generally interpreted to mean that the government cannot punish its citizens for speaking out against the government. That's really all you're guaranteed. This has nothing to do with censorship, and in fact censorship in general is quite accepted in US law. You quite plainly do not have the right to unrestricted access to any information you want. No law even suggests that. Just for starters, we regularly ban books at the state level. In some places, you can be arrested for possessing certain materials. Perfectly constitutional.

Freedom of speech does not mean you can say or print anything with no consequences. See libel.

Freedom of speech does not mean you can read or posses any information you want. See classified materials, state secrets, illegal materials such as CSAM.

Freedom of speech means that the government can't put three generations of your family in a concentration camp because you tweeted once that the president sucks.

They just read the title, not the article, then confabluate an entire world view from three words that are entirely untethered from the actual constitutional meaning.

They're all Samsung. The Gear S3 was utterly useless due to the bespoke OS they immediately abandoned, the Note 10 was bloated as hell, un-rootable, and would forcibly restart to apply 30-minute updates while I was using it to show something to a client. One of said forced updates also bricked the damn thing. Never buying anything from Samsung again.

Other than that, I regret buying a Nintendo switch. I played the big Zelda game when it launched and that's about it. Nothing else in Nintendo's library interested me, not for a $70 download-only two years after release.
