I care about the reality of free speech, not the abstract concept. It matters to me not one bit who the censors are if the end result is the same.

A handful of companies control the vast majority of discourse in the world - and there's no competition in their moderation styles. It's either time to split them up or to regulate them.

Congress has been investigating big tech for "allowing" violence, hate speech, election interference, etc. Its might not be a coincidence that they all started heightened moderation only after it was clear Trump was cruising to a loss.
