I need to reread this. Is the writer arguing that we should force Twitter & Facebook to continue hosting her false and toxic posts? That we should extend the public square to privately owned social sites?
That I should be forced to host racists and KKK-ers and extremists of every stripe who want me dead?
No thanks.
If the argument is that deleting such accounts is bad for freedom, I agree, but only because $CELEBRITY won't hire someone to spin up a GS / Mastodon / Pleroma instance for them to post on. Their own choices put control of their freedom to post in the hands of #corpocentric
