This platform is a major carrier of public speech.

No one is preventing him from speaking.

There are thousands of places on the internet he can go to discuss sodomy to his heart's content.

There is an inequality of speech. These mass communications systems are the only effective means for speaking to large audiences for some people.

It is not only unfair that the left can use them and people on our side cannot, it is also immensely dangerous.

There are thousands of places on the internet he can go to discuss sodomy to his heart's content.

That will reach similar quantities of audience? Then it isn't the same, is it?

What you propose is very much like this.

Yes, but facebook currently enjoys legal protection from content based lawsuits because they claim they do not exercise editorial control.

They either have to stop editing based on political opinion OR give up the legal protection and be treated like a newspaper, or Verizon. What they are doing is like Verizon cancelling your service if you call the Trump campaign number.
