Freedom of the press does not include the freedom to use someone else’s press without their consent.

No. Comparing a billion user mass communications infrastructure of now critical importance to a "press" is a f***ing lie.

My position is simple. If you are a massive communications system, and you restrict freedom of speech, you need to be destroyed by any means possible.

If you deny the rights of the public, you must be denied access to the public. You should not be allowed to have members of the public use your communications infrastructure.

The public has rights that "private" companies cannot take away.

At what scale is Constitutionally protected “press” no longer Constitutionally protected “press”?
The answer is in the absurdity of the question, to wit “when is X not X?”.

You are literally, right now, looking at a “press” capable of instantly delivering content worldwide to billions of potential readers. Nothing is stopping you but your own resolvable ignorance. Nobody is censoring your content published on your own press. Nobody is stopping a willing audience. Getting that audience to request your content, well, that’s your problem.

Alex Jones was the “canary in the coal mine”, first to get kicked off the major presses.
Yet here he is, easily accessible: https://www.infowars.com/show/the-alex-jones-show/
What’s the problem?
