Not sure what to make of it, actually. How about applying the constitution to the situation - people can say what they want, and only they are responsible for their words. Same as in real life. If a site presents itself as a forum for all takers, then it has to accept all takers. If something is against their rules, then they need to spell out exactly what those rules are. In the words of George Carlin, the “7 words that can’t be said on TV” kind of rules. Not the wishy-washy crap we see from some entities now.

That’s not what we have on FB/Tooter/yewtoob/etc THEY are censoring and controlling speech. As the electronic public square, they are violating the terms of their existence, of their merchantability of their product. They are not the public square if they’re controlling speech.
