On the contrary, that is exactly why it was created. Dog lovers forums aren't supposed to be compelled to allow cat lovers a platform to voice their opinion on the dog lover's private server. Private servers are not public forums in the legal sense. We can have a conversation on whether or not that needs to change, but basic US law on private property is very clear about this.

Law follows morals, so first we need to determine what we actually want.

Dog lovers forum is not at issue here because it doesn't matter to how society functions, giant twitters and facebooks on the other hand very much matter and should be re-evaluated.

Large websites, large skyscrapers. Still private property.
