>These individuals are free to create their own businesses and websites which facilitate whatever kind of discourse they please, nobody can take that away from them. This is not just about free speech and freedom of association. It's about anti-competitive practices in the marketplaces. People who have done what you suggest discover a coordinated effort to de-platform which includes things like making it impossible to use theoretically neutral infrastructure, like CAs or DNS or routing or payment systems or monetization. Meanwhile "approved" competitors see no such bar. In the United States this is conspiracy to restrain trade. When a person can only make a living if the platforms approve of the content, the platform is picking winners and losers in the market. These are outrageously unfair business practices.
