In the world of “private” social media companies, to evade charges of government suppression of free speech, all the government has to do is outsource the suppression to “private contractors”.

I keep telling people this, but some people don't grasp this idea of collusion between government and industry more commonly known as "fascism."

If we allow private censorship of public mass communications, it creates the conditions for behind the scenes government censorship, in the manner China already has Google and other such companies obeying them.
