    You can still make your own website and publish whatever you like (local laws may apply).

      Only in the same way that you could always write your own newsletter and hand it out in the street. I feel like you’re wilfully missing the point there.

        Big platforms have a lot of power. They need to control the content published for reasons ranging from following laws to pleasing advertisers. These decisions always have political implications.
