A magazine is a platform for speech. You don’t have the right to speak in someone else’s magazine, but no one has the right to stop you from creating your own magazine, and no one has the right to tell a store what magazines they can sell. If you don’t want to buy a magazine, fine, don’t buy it. But if you stop someone else from selling a magazine, you’re doing what every censor does.

Telling people they have the freedom to speak where no one can hear them is not free speech—that’s pure censorship.
