I certainly think there an problem with these kinds of bans.

But I also wonder what kind of public service do you feel is being privatized here?

Previous to internet platforms nobody was at the town hall advising their video games.

That’s the question, isn’t it?

Is Twitter (or Meta or whoever) closer to print media (ads and editorials, controlled by a company)? Or is it more like the proverbial town square (almost any speech is fair game (in US), controlled by government)?

I’d say the former, but have friends who strongly believe the latter.
