The way I see it, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Google are so massive that they've become the defacto "public speaking" ground for online discussion nowadays. Nobody goes to generic-forums.com anymore to discuss their absurdist views unless they can't go anywhere else (like Voat). Discord is subtly filling this niche now but I'm unfamiliar with any moderating censorship similar to the ones I've stated above. The majority of the niche platforms don't have an issue with censorship because they know their community will just naturally downvote things they dislike. That's why it never was an issue. But when things get as large as most social media has today, they are more than clearly stating they have a bias toward what people can and can't say whether or not it was said to a large or small group of people. Even trying to censor the president or cover up allegations against a candidate. Whats weird to me is why Big Tech isn't trying to self regulate in a way that would appease the conservatives that are upset? That would for sure keep the government off of their tail. They didn't however and they tried doubling down on their agenda. Depending on the next election, this could really hurt them depending on how badly they want push for monopolistic practices.
