Google CEO Sundar Pichai to Meet with Top GOP Lawmakers

Let's put it this way, let's say George Soros bought it. He then directed the employees who didn't quit to ban all people who are not leftists.

Or, let's say on the other hand the Koch brothers buy it and again, direct employees who have not quit to ban all non-conservative posters.

Would that be okay because they don't owe it to anyone to be a medium for everyone?

Yeah that’d be okay.

Someone else could create a more neutral site since there’d certainly be a void to fill.

Then, I'm pretty sure your opinion is in the minority. There would be outrage from either side, if affected, I'm sure.

Where is the ambiguity? In your example, a private company was purchased by a private individual and now they legally own it... why shouldn't they legally be allowed to do whatever they want with it?

Didn't someone make an alt-right twitter and an alt-right Reddit? No-one's complaining - those who don't like it keep away.
