Is it really necessary to explain that private parties being agents of government makes it the government?

But that’s not your argument. You say all communications companies (well, except for those under some arbitrary size limit and those that you say are a club, etc, etc.) should lose their ability to moderate the content on their sites.

Or are all communications companies government agents?

You are pulling a dishonest thing here. You keep using the word "moderate" which means a very different thing from censor.

What they are doing is censoring. They are not "moderating." They are banning opinions they don't like, and it has not a d@mn thing to do with "moderating" a website, it has only to do with suppressing ideas they don't like.

So how about you stop your dishonest word swapping?

And to answer your question, I am coming around to the belief that when you get to be a certain size, you automatically attract the notice of the government, (or governments) which then forces you to be a proxy.

Or are all communications companies government agents?

It's beginning to look that way.
