Exactly I think my point’s been misread a bit. I’m not arguing that Meta has no legal right to moderate its own platform.
My point is that we’ve allowed public debate, journalism, and politics to be funnelled through a handful of privately controlled platforms. Then people act surprised when that power is used against someone whose message goes against the grain.
The real irony is whether outlets like The Independent or Dagsavisen will now seriously review their reliance on Meta’s platforms, or whether they’ll complain about the power imbalance while continuing to feed it. My guess is the latter.
