Well we start with the fact that they aren’t monopolies. And then we remember why we think the whole “hate speech” regulation thing is a bad idea. And there you have it.

The monopolies which existed over 100 years ago were broken by Teddy Roosevelt and the Sherman anti-trust act.

There are indeed monopolies today, whether you wish to acknowledge this or not. I'm beginning to get the idea that you are in over your head in this discussion.

And then we remember why we think the whole “hate speech” regulation thing is a bad idea.

The only thing that "hate speech" has to do with mass communications companies censoring American speech is that they want to censor hate speech too.

You are siding with their "right" to censor "hate speech" when you say they have a "right" to censor public communications.

And there you have it.

I have a response that does not address any part of what I asked about. I have a response that does not even make sense to me.
