> We don’t allow...privately owned platforms to be the arbitrator of truth. Sure we do, we allow every other privately ran website on the planet to pick and choose what or who it allows, why should this be different for YouTube or Facebook or whatever other website bans racists next. The most prominent racist forum on the internet doesn’t have a hosting space for left media, we don’t expect fox news to give unfettered and free streaming on their website to every liberal protest group in the country, the very forum we’re posting on right now has moderation, they don’t let random trolls spew whatever they want here. Sites care about their reputation and who/what they’re associated with, why is this suddenly a bad thing? Sites and forums have branding to be concerned about, they have reputations they’re trying to curate, all of them. Facebook has become widely known as a misinformation hellsite, who in their right mind can blame them for trying to clear that reputation? In my opinion it’s probably too late, but I certainly can’t blame them for trying..
