I use to be of the opinion that it is from government we should fear censorship. I did not foresee this mass corporate conspiracy to promote a liberal point of view by Google and Facebook. I underestimated the how human reliance on these companies would grant them so much power over us.

This is really a replay of the railroad monopolies in the 1800s.

They were de facto common carriers—and it took a long time (and a lot of very angry regular folks) before the politicians stopped taking the bribes and starting fixing the problem.

Allowing private companies to censor speech will simply make them back door conduits for governments to censor speech. China already forces Google to do what China wants.
