      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.

      Your backyard doesn't allow entry to the general public. Social media companies do.

      no they dont man they allow access to people at their discretion who follow their rules and guidelines and give them control over their personal information. you apply for an account at facebook just like you apply to membership of a private club

      Anyone can sign up for Facebook, and then they can be ejected for violating certain rules and guidelines. Anyone can enter a public park, and then they can be ejected for violating certain rules and guidelines.

      wrong. signing up on facebook is contingent on approval of your application from the facebook corporation, after you've signed a legal agreement and delievered a buttload of personal information to their custody. only very shitty public parks do this

      Lots of public parks have signs posted outlining which behaviors are acceptable and unacceptable within the park, which you must adhere to or face ejection. There are also lots of laws and ordinances governing conduct in the park that you implicitly agree to by entering

      You're right, you don't agree to a literal user agreement but you agree to something that is analogous in the context of public parks.

          you're not making the point the point you think you are making. it is true that in all places, man is subject to laws. the question is the conditions under which we can gain access to a place. i don't think you can dispute that fb is more like a country club than a public park

          I do dispute that. I think it's much closer to a public park. Country clubs are avowedly exclusive and don't purport to be accessible to the general public, whereas FB is by design accessible to the general public.
