It is strange to hear the phrase, "private corporations can do what they want" in 2021. That has not been the case for over a century now, and is shockingly ignorant of the fact that the world imposes literally tens of thousands of regulations on private corporations already.

Of course, I _also_ happen not to agree with your public policy decision, but that was not the point of my tweet - the point of my tweet was that the fact that a company is private has nothing to do with whether they should or shouldn't censor their customers.

Fwiw I do have a lot of sympathy for the argument that social networks are creating a "public square" and so shouldn't be able to censor. The thing that swings the decision for me is imagining a world where social networks aren't allowed to censor

Oohhh I see, sorry. Well yeah, I lean to the left so I'm never going to think that corporations can do "whatever they want"

Personally I don't think anyone actually believes corporations can do whatever they want, right or left. I think they just haven't thought through what that would actually mean :)
