So to you, there is no level of dominance of channels of communication where a corporation takes on some of the responsibility of managing a public space? If they owned everything minus one, you're 100% okay with them censoring anyone for any reason and you think they should face zero criticism of that whatsoever. Because they own it, they can do what they want with it, and property rights are absolute. Just trying to follow your logic (and highlight its incoherence). As for other places to express speech you label "hate speech" - not really. Domain registrars, hosting providers, and payment processors will shut you down. See what happened to SubscribeStar recently. There actually is nowhere to go if the consortium of megacorporations decides they don't like you. Cyberpunk was supposed to be a dystopia but you seem to desperately want to bring it about.

You are assuming my opinion on the subject. Please consider my points in good faith. To clarify: My perspective is that we have reached a point where it is clear that in the space of online, there are a few dominant companies that effectively control population traffic and attention through hosting spaces. The internet can be viewed as a public private space, with all the consequences of such. Changing it would require government-level regulation, bringing in the established checks on speech restriction that the government has. I do not want any consequence. I am undecided on the pros/cons of possible soltutions.
