How do you define when a website has become large enough to be considered part of the Digital Commons?

Let us first agree on the principle, and then we can reason out the details.

This is also a reverse incentive for web companies to be successful- knowing that reaching that point you define means accepting government oversight of content moderation policies.

Your argument allows for people to refuse to serve black people at lunch counters.

Protecting people's civil rights is not "government oversight." It's "We will punish you if you violate other people's civil rights."

No - I'm not suggesting existing carveouts to protect civil rights should be removed.

Those carveouts don't apply to content moderation of political speech on websites.
