I didn't say the concept cannot exist: I said it's not at play here. What gets a website censored, in the modern corporation-dominated Internet, is going again

I didn't say the concept cannot exist: I said it's not at play here.
What gets a website censored, in the modern corporation-dominated Internet, is going against the interests and preferences of Big Tech owners - and nothing else. Nobody with any power is bound to look out for the public interest, however defined; ICANN is perhaps the only exception that comes to mind.
We can waste our time and attention debating over which targets were more or less deserving of censorship, based on our personal ideas of public interest. But as long as Big Tech is allowed to exist in its current form, we're like powerless peasants arguing about the decisions of kings.
