I'm talking about whether its reasonable to criticise private companies for their decisions re: freedom of speech or not.

my stance has previously been to let them do whatever they want, but now I'm unsure. Without equality, it leads to imbalance

THis is a different issue to whether or not private companies which platform talks shld be required to allow free speech

We can criticise universities for not hosting radfems, conservatives, Islamists etc but we can't make them do it.

a speech at a university may well be the only chance for people to hear different points of view, and would help fight fake news
