This is an ahistorical, anti-Constitutional, anti-1A attitude. “It’s a private company so I can do whatever I want with your speech” was not the historical norm for hundreds of years in America....
it's a self reinforcing decision as well. if you cannot, or explicitly establish a principle that you will not, infringe on speech, then you are not responsible for what people say. in deciding to moderate, or changing a system to enable moderation, you have placed yourself in a position of discretion.
now anyone who has influence over you will expect you to exercise your discretion. your friends and family, your advertisers, your government.
it's better to design a system that minimizes discretion, which was a core principle when designing my bitcoin deposits protocol
