No. Freedom of speech is something that needs to transcend the "property rights" of companies that carry communications. We need to make that a particular exception to "property rights" because to do otherwise would have a seriously bad consequence to our system of governance.

The Digital frontier is now the modern commons, and it must be treated as such.
If they will not respect our right to freedom of speech, than we should NOT respect their property rights to control such communications infrastructure. It should be imminent domained for the good of the Nation.
Hear, hear!!
No. Property rights and freedom of speech are the same thing. I have the right to decide what speech is on my property. Jones got kicked off of a handful of sites. He’s still got the whole rest of the internet.
