Well, this goes way back:

There is no free speech on the Internet. Ultimately, it is a peer system and your speech is carried at the pleasure of those who own the means.

If our speech is worth carrying, it will be generally carried.

Even when we choose to set up as a peer, we are still in it together with everyone else. Get too toxic, and they may just turn their backs.

Some say that is all a great argument for municipal networks, and in the US, the First Amendment carries some weight. Even then, free speech is threatened right now with cancel culture.
