Or you could be a private company with actual ethics and accountability to your shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, retailers, etc. There's more to culture than law.

It's also a legal aspect here, as big tech companies are de facto monopolies with essential service to the society. So yes, I guess it's their legal duty to ensure due process at least, and maybe even to be bound by the 1st amendment

We like to pretend they’re private companies but they profit from selling info the Uncle Sam and Uncle Sam enforces IP laws to help monopolize their industries. The only property rights government recognizes.

There's a difference between the legal limits of what they can do and our opinions about the negative effects of what they do within those limits.

Facebook et al are private companies that can do what they want, but just cuz they're within their legal rights doesn't mean we can't criticize their actions and call them out. Recognizing property rights doesn't mean you respond to every exercise of those rights with a shrug

The frequently overlooked third angle is deceptive trade practices and false advertising. You can't advertise yourself as a free, unbiased platform and then target only conservatives. If you want to do that, call yourself a leftist platform. Pick one.

Either these attempts to silence him will be fruitless because people can seek alternative platforms or the platforms are monopolies. Many on the right, even libertarians oppose monopolies.
