I agree there needs to be more discussion about the degree to which large companies can impact peoples human rights.
I think there's an important distinction in the criticism though, even though the rhetoric might be similar.
Apple was holding its ground against the US Gov't and defense community to avoid setting a dangerous precedent that would violate their user's rights.
While it's true that in some ways Facebook, Youtube, or Twitter are defending user's free speech, I think there's some question as to how they (or their algorithms) promote extreme views.
Does everyone have free speech if you give the most extreme voices a megaphone?
