I appreciate this but I also suspect that many of the people who advocate for this kind of private public square aren’t thinking through the implications from the perspective of their own professed ideals. In general, many anti-free-speech, pro Twitter Inc folks are left wing and left wing ideals don’t align well with privatizing the regulation of civil liberties. I think this is more of an emotional reaction on their part than a principled stance.
