Somehow it's Freedom when a company refuses to make a cake for a gay couple, but Tyranny if a company providing hosting and DDOS protection services decide not to work with a company who explicitly violates their terms of service.
Edit: ignore me, I mistakenly swapped the subjects when reading the comment and misunderstood what they were saying.

One is denying service based on a protected class , the other is denying service based on a risk of violence.
How can you consider them equivalent?
I'm not saying they are equivalent. I'm saying that all the people screaming that this is tyranny hold very different views on denying other people services based on a protected class. I'm pointing out how silly it is to be okay with a baker refusing gay customers but thinking this is the end of freedom on the internet.
Edit: never mind I totally misread the initial comment and swapped the two subjects. Ignore me
How is that not holding them as equivalent for the purposes of your argument?
