      I'm contending that the major social media platforms constitute the contemporary "public square"

          homie it can't be a public square because "the public" doesn't have unlimited access to these spaces. they've always been subject to moderation and user agreements and codes of conduct, they are by definition not public

          I don't think this follows. "The public" generally doesn't have unlimited access to literal public squares either, as in parks and such, which can be closed or circumscribed. Police eject people from parks for certain behaviors. But it's still a "public square," conceptually.

          Then maybe we shouldn't have privatized the "public square".

          It's more like a ticker tape that watches you than a public square

          Until they're nationalized that is not true. If you want to advocate nationalizing all social media you'll find a lot of supporters.

          Pretty sure it was the "public square" that effectively pressured facebook to remove a user that was extremely profitable and effective at generating clicks.
