The Left broke that rule for everyone a few years ago.... Now they get to eat that crap cake they baked..
Multiple services were providing a service and for monitized content on Youtube, there is a contract - it's not like posting videos of your cat- and multiple services coordinated efforts to damage his business.
Freedom of communication is a fundamental necessity in our system of governance.

Looks like a new “protected class” needs to be added to the list. Anyone who speaks out against the insidious left.
How much do you think Infowars should win in a civil suit? I’m thinking $80B against all those who are doing this to them right now should do it. $200B if they do it to anyone else.
All these companies doing this should also be broken up with right wing watchdogs like Infowars given the power to shut them down if they don’t play nice in the future. Poetic justice.

These aren’t privately owned firms operating in a competitive market. These are tech giants that rule the world of public communication in a fashion similar to what the railroads were doing for public transportation in the 1880s.
They have market power that makes them defacto monopolies.
Like the RRs before them they are using that market power to discriminate in favor of, or in this case against, certain customers instead of giving them all uniform access.
After enough years of big business acting badly, voters put pressure on Congress and got them to create the first federal regulatory agency the Interstate Commerce Commission.
” A central issue was rate discrimination between similarly situated customers and communities. Other potent issues included alleged attempts by railroads to obtain influence over city and state governments and the widespread practice of granting free transportation in the form of yearly passes to opinion leaders (elected officials, newspaper editors, ministers, and so on) so as to dampen any opposition to railroad practices.”
Bad enough with RRs, arguably worse with communication giants that can censor political speech.
They are going to end up being declared the equivalent of public utilities and will be forced to offer equal service to all customers.
Still “not the hill to die on”, eh?
Tell that to the phone company.
