Massive social media platforms are blurring the lines of what public communication means in context of the public square.
We need careful consideration on both sides, and it's disingenuous to pretend that they're simply a private business and that we can treat them as if they aren't effectively virtual public squares that dwarf anything in the real world in scale and reach.
