Censoring speech is completely counter to everything this country was built on. Every corporation doing this, YC included, is plainly undermining our freedom of speech. Using the public square exception, while also censoring and editorializing, creates a moral hazard, wherein the offending corporations are are actually publishers that ate not responsible for the content they publish, yet they are benefitting from it.

There are no "community standards". There are corporate rules and censorship. We are not a community if we can't have free speech. We are subject to a corporation that is publishing and benefitting our content, subject to their terms and political beliefs.
