You do sound pretty simple, can't argue with that.

They still have terms of service. When those terms of service are broken they can then withdraw service.

Right now certain elements are using private platforms to incite violence and insurrection in a democratic country. An incitement that has seen real consequences and will, sadly, see more. What should these platforms do?

The rights and powers of a private company are simple and clear. Their judicious use of those rights and powers are there's to decide. You want to "vote" with your wallet then do so.

*theirs. I already told you that just because something is legal that doesn't make it not a problem. Why are you appealing to this 'they have a legal right so it's fine' rubbish again? If that argument worked why would we bother having legislatures?

If you think the law is going to change in order to prevent a private company exercising it's right to refuse service then you're deluded. Do you believe government's should force private entities to accept anything? Behave!
