I hate when some on the right call YouTube and Twitter the “digital commons”.
Well, no it isnt! It’s a stupid service offered by a private company that we got addicted to like a meth addict, and now we are screaming because they are regulating the supply.
Dont complain, leave them, and build the alternatives.

If a substantial number of people are using them, they are the defacto "commons".
For "free speech" to have a purpose, it must be capable of reaching the people, wherever the people happen to be.
‘freedom of the press’ is limited to those who own one.
