You will not find me to be an apologist for social-media business. That said, a for-profit company has "rights" too, or at least a team of lawyers to defend the operation on behalf of the ownership and/or shareholders. A social-media company has operational goals other than ensuring that you and I can say what we want, however we want, at our convenience and on their dime. And those rules will likely conform to many (if not all) the values of society. Even HN itself restricts debate. Do you object to this too?
