> corporations gagging free speech in the digital town squares of Twitter
See the other comment for the full text without pay well. They mention a few times how Twitter is a town square where 'mobs' of people denounce individuals for saying the Wrong Thing. Corporations though? Nope.

The article does cover how more and more people think that content they find offensive should be refused by platforms. Corporations aren't the cause of this loss of ability to speak in my view. It's the shift in public opinion, and corporations respond to shifts in public opinion akin to a sailor responding to changes in the wind.
