Ah, OK - I missed that you were talking about corporations. So can we rephrase this by saying that Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube should be fine with white supremacists and people who argue for pederasty on their platforms? I struggle with this at the extremes.

There are hate speech laws they can follow. That should cover the extremes. And if they don't, then it is the failure of the legislation. Just like how you can't go to walmart and insult everyone you see. It would actually be illegal to retaliate against those people. But call the cops and they can be dealt with. At least with the laws, there is more checks and balances. It isn't perfect, but it is better than giving private entities massive power to control opinions.

  If the law should cover it all, then what is their right to filter spam based upon?

      So, no spam filtering.
