Those social media platforms are private property, and I can't believe you're advocating that control of those be taken away from the owners and given to somebody else so that it can be, what, more "fair?" Who's going to decide what's fair? You? Me? The government?

How about we let the people who own the newspapers, social media platforms, magazines, and news stations decide what they're going to publish? And if you don't like their message, then don't tune in and go find a news source you agree with.

As soon as we try to mandate who doesn't doesn't get a voice, we open it up to far more censorship and we totally steal control of people's private property away from them. If you can't see the evil that'll open this country up to then you're blind.

I can only imagine if Facebook and Reddit were predominantly conservative and censoring liberal voices you'd have zero problem with it. Can't you see empowering the government to have that kind of control is in nobody's best interests.

Nope, not at all. We need platforms that allow all voices to be heard. If you are happy with corporations controlling public information, say goodbye to your 2A rights as well. They all hate you and everyone like you, and will do whatever is necessary to make sure you don’t have a voice. You and I are powerless to change it unless free speech is allowed on public platforms, wether they are privately owned or not.
