In this case though, the current "cyber mob", as you might call it, is agitating for a famously editorially neutral company (that simply provides a service to other websites) to become strictly partial based on what is essentially politics under the guise of an anti-harassment campaign. This is a hair's breadth away from demanding that the electric, water, and gas utilities suspend service from problematic but law-abiding individuals and companies. The claim is that private companies should be able to freely choose whether to "publish" another person's views, but the underlying intent is blatantly to bully all the right "dependency" companies such that it is absolutely impossible to operate a law abiding website unless it enforces the correct politics.
In other words:
- "Just make your own subreddit/group chat/etc"
- "Just find another website to speak your views on"
- "Just make your own website if you want free speech"
- "Just run your own hosting company"
- "Just run your own DNS registrar"
- "Just build your own datacentre"
- "Just run your own worldwide DDoS protection" (<-- You are here)
- "Just run your own Internet backbone if you want infrastructure companies to peer with you"
- "Just create your own Internet"
