[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4649722, member: 24302"] When the owner of the news stand decides to take that sharpie to a playboy then playboy has the right to remove their magazine from his new stand. Actions have consequences and when those actions hurt private citizens the government has an obligation to play referee. Stock exchanges are platforms too but when operators of those exchanges act on inside information they break the law. Same thing with social media platforms. As long as it is a platform the owner of the platform is protected from litigation that newspapers aren't. Cross the line and participate in behavior that harms others then the platform owners risk losing their protection. I don't know why you can't see that. I guess as long as the platforms back your point of view you're fine with it. Wonder how you'll feel when they decide you must be deleted from public discourse and go after you in every way possible including showing up at your home or trying to get you fired? [/QUOTE]
