It is not the same. For one thing, FR does not have government recruiting pages. It does not have a marketplace. It does not host garage sales, pet adoption, etc. There are court cases (malls) for example where it was ruled that because the mall allowed a wide variety of activity and allowed military recruiters to set up shop, that the public areas (not individual stores) could not limit free speech activities. There are specific things that a private company / property owner must do and FB, Twitter, YouTube and Google have taken actions that meet the requirements of a public forum. They are the latter day town square, by their own actions.

“They are the latter day town square, by their own actions.”

I agree. The challenge will be limits on protection. People want to stop bullying. However people on the left are so easily bullied. You are a bully if you disagree with them or make fun of them. They never consider themselves bullying with global warming or gender indoctrination or when they make fun of others. It seems like the onus should be those being bullied to leave.
