Major media outlets and companies should not be considered private platforms.

Really? Now I'm curious, how do you imagine that?

I assume the company still pays for the platform, hosting, development, etc. Since it's public, are they now subsidised by taxes?

Who moderates the platforms then? Are is it all just unmoderated?

Will companies get compansated for lost revenue?

I genuinely curious how you imagine this working.

Anyone can sign up and post while they use their money and influence to decide who gets heard.

Yeah, because it's theirs. They own it.

If I let everyone into my house for a party, doesn't mean I lose the right to kick people out.

Sometimes you gotta put up with some ugly if you don't want people silenced for their perspective. I don't want an echo chamber.

I'm okay with an echo chamber if it means I don't have to put up with CP and jihadi execution footage in my cute cat feed.

I assume it would be no problem for you.
