My concern is how far down "somebody else's platform" goes. Twitter bans Trump: they're a platform, they can ban whoever they want. AWS bans Parler: they're a platform, they can ban whoever they want. Verizon is an ISP... are they a platform? Can they ban whoever they want? GoDaddy is a domain registrar. Are they a platform? Can they ban whoever they want?
