poor phrasing on my part and I think we're in agreement about this, of course companies should have control what goes on their platform, they're not public services - the issue today is they have the power but none of the consequences from potential fallout. Should we really be placing that power in the hands of for profit entities? Regulation is it's own bag of worms, but at least the government is in theory meant to be acting in the interest of the populace vs. shareholders - a key difference especially in dealing with influence/reach/impact of the likes of twitter, facebook, reddit etc

Ah, so we are in agreement fully.

I appreciate the added nuance.
