I don't think that private censorship is necessarily a problem, but I do think that corporations having the authority to exercise what is a pretty effective form of muting is a problem. This is of course due to the size and prevalence of Facebook as a platform. I don't think the solution (or best solution, at least) is to break up the tech giants as Elizabeth Warren would suggest. I would instead prefer to see some form of socialized media platforms that take the market question out of the equation (does white supremacy content hurt Facebook more than removing it would?). This is of course, because, the market is not always right (even though in this case I would make a strong argument that it is).

I'm not sure what the best social media model for such a platform would be -- preferably something mostly non-anonymous like Facebook, but self-moderated (within the bounds of the law) like Reddit used to be.
