They can, but not by lying or being in contravention to their own policies.

Even regulators hold businesses to following their own policies.

You have a business agreement between the user and the company. The company can’t end the agreement by legally maintaining they ended it because you maintained a pedophile site, if there is no example of a pedophile site.

That is suable.

That is the first thought but it gives me pause. I think of Google. Well over 80% of searches go through them. When 80% of information inquiries are manipulated to favor one point of view it is a big problem. YouTube his a near monopoly also. Evil people will exploit our freedoms until we lose them.

Nope. That's just a mask they wear to engage in government censorship. We've already learned from the Twitter files that the government has it's hands in all the big mass communications companies.

From this point forward, any censorship of any public speech on any massive communications platform is *GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP*.

And it's absolutely forbidden.
