I was pointing out the hypocrisy and the double standard.
Twitter has been in the news cycle for censoring/manipulating tweets of Trump. On HN I see a lot of people defending this decision by noting they are a private company and you can switch social media services if you want.
It seems you cannot switch services, the mob will always find you and push their "ethics" and "facts" onto you.
There's nothing strange about it at all. If you want to sell securities on public markets you have to abide by certain rules. It's completely reasonable, and I know that corporations and their apologists like to throw around "private" as a buzzword and pretend like they should have free reign, but they do not.
There is no such thing as a "private" publicly traded company.
