We choose moderation constantly in our lives, intentionally.
Interesting that you bring up that example, because private malls are absolutely required to follow certain public accommodations laws, depending on the jurisdiction.
So, just like private malls are forced to do certain things by the government, people are saying that a similar set of public accommodations, that we already force malls to do, should be extended to other platforms.
EX: https://www.aclusocal.org/en/know-your-rights/protesters
"Shopping malls must allow speech activity subject to reasonable time, place and manner rules— ask your local mall for their rules."
You can "choose moderation" by not viewing Twitter accounts and conversations you don't care about and muting words you dislike.
In that case however I would also like the possibility to turn off any algorithms that recommend stuff to me. I want to see only things i put on my whitelist, otherwise i will have to constantly moderate and it will take up loads of my time.
As long as that doesn't happen I am more than happy to let others do the moderation based on some frameworks that I agreed on (ToS in Twitters case).
But I'm not sure how it could work without having users agree to a new ToS frequently, due to things like the Euphemism Treadmill: https://www.cambridgeblog.org/2020/08/ableist-language-and-t...
