The “it’s a private company lolz” thing was itself a reaction to when Republicans were refusing to make gay wedding cakes, and the loss of the Fairness Doctrine long before that.

I think “thought it was a great idea to hand over the power […] to private companies” is a misrepresentation. Some moderation was better than no moderation, but obviously "the political left"would have preferred regulation rather than self regulation.

What’s the point you’re making? That nothing should have been done?

I mean, I feel thats still true. And because it’s true, we need to get the f off of it, as a society.
