      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

      I don't think that's different at all. Imagine a town has 1 company. If that company censors or bans speakers, town is cut off

      Then have more companies. You can't make the only one that sets up platform the things you want it to.

      you just described a major problem the US has. We DON'T have more companies. Monopolies exist, and they're not going away.

      We're talking about places people can express their views. When Twitter banned some ppl, other online companies set up.

      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

      No. People can access the internet at libraries if they cannot afford it at home.

      they don't though. That's the phenomenon we're seeing. Most people don't seek alternative views

      Then they probably won't travel to universities for them either. Again, a different issue.

          my issue is when you don't let creationist and the like talk, they think it's because we can't debate them.Nye vs. Ham was great

          thousands tuned into that talk, and Ham came off as a complete idiot (which he is)

          This is why I argue for free speech & representation of diversity of ideas. I don't think we can force ppl to do this.

          we don't know if it will happen if we don't. Who is victimised by such a law? Companies? They don't need anyone to champion them

          Depends what size they are and who they are speaking for! An ex-Muslim organisation cld suffer from being made to host Islamists.

          Besides which, we either support freedom of expression or we don't. We can't say 'You must host these ppl you hate coz big.'
