I added the disclaimer to my comment because there is speech that is legal, but i think is okay for private entities to regulate on their own platforms. A couple of examples that I considered:
While it’s legal to say really racist shit, it’s okay for something like an internet forum to mod such speech if they want to enforce some community standards.
It’s legal to spread misinformation about a global pandemic, but it’s okay for a private entity to mod it if they decide they dont want to contribute to hurting people.
My point is that I think private entities can regulate speech on their own platforms in some ways, but not others. Some thoughtful nuance is required and we need regulation that enforces all this. Left to their own, corporations like apple will hurt us.
