If they are platforms, then they should be legally withheld from censoring the content on those platforms.
Let's say they're platforms. Why should they required to allow any content on their platforms that anyone wants to post?

Why can't they decide for themselves what people are and aren't allowed to post? They're the ones who set it up, they get to make the rules. You can argue whether or not the rules are fair, but no-one is being forced to use their service. If they have a rule against posting content related to goats, you can say 'i don't like this', but you can't take them to court and force them to put up your goat tweets..

Why do they have to let someone come on and spread hatred?
