Why is it more important if the gov't does it? At this point, if Twitter, Facebook, and Google do it, it seems at least as distorting, if not moreso.
-
Gov't can enforce its exclusions with guns.

Yes. The government has a legal monopoly on lethal force. And the social media platforms control the code that runs their platforms. That seems much more relevant in this case. What am I missing?

No use, he's going to hold onto this dumb argument no matter what.

Government might even be downstream.

The government's unique value is in the ability to hand out monopolistic power: Regulations, laws build moats that primarily protect incumbents and hurt challengers. It follows that self-interested parties will seek favor by the State. It's the nature of the beast.

I asked this earlier. Why do we expect a digital arena to be more democratic than its brick and mortar counterpart. The fact is you can subvert the other with greater ease than a monopolistic brick and mortar field. Geoffrey is right though. But infancy of platform is to blame

We can’t expect a democratic flattening from a technological hierarchical framework so early in its infancy. Especially when a necessary oligopoly started it. I hate saying that btw. How else could this digital era emerge? Railroads, highways. Only This time private sector led.
-
Contemplate this. Where Do most voices and companies have a presence? MSM, W town square or digital. Of the three, the last is the least oppressive/repressive.
