Social media is the medium through which modern civil discourse is occurring. It is where political opinions are formed. To have all the major corporations strong-arm these companies to limit speech is dangerous. Companies should not determine the overton window.

As Cory Doctorow has pointed out the problem is that there are oligopolies in the first place, not how they are implementing "correct thought rules". Facebook, Twitter, Google should be broken up, they ought not to exist in their current media-distorting massiveness if we are serious about this problem.
