This is wrong. This is not the way we want to go forward.
We have laws and courts to prosecute illegality.
It is urgent we translate the principle of Free Speech, from the country in which these platforms were founded, into an online context.
>Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open.
What about the people who can never make it to elected office because their communication channels are nuked for WrongThink before their political lives can even get off the ground.
Do we want the realm of acceptable discourse set by an insular group with radical ideas?
I hope there's broad agreement the answer to that is no, even from those who see themselves at present mostly in line with the small group with radical ideas.
"It's a private business they can do what they want"
is outdated thinking to address these issues.
I don't currently have the all the answers here.
But I do know we need answers to this problem.
