So do share: most of the Internet is owned by corporations. Which part of that should be free speech protected? Should Google DNS be able to pick and choose? How about routing certain IPs? Why not? IPs are sold and corporations own those just fine and DNS is an open system, just set up your own and don't act entitled!

The cognitive dissonance plaguing most people in this matter is absolutely astonishing.

Sorry to sound like I'm trying to gotcha you, but how on earth isn't Facebook a large subset of the Internet?

Of course it is, but it’s not THE Internet and we don’t want it to be. It’s also a commercial emtity while the Internet May be considered more of a public good.

In many parts of the world it definitely is THE internet. Nearly every business on my street uses Facebook as their webpage. It's incredibly rare to see local businesses here with their own proper site.

I see, you make the distinction based on public vs. private. The weird thing is, isn't this just giving private companies the ability to have a more lax set of standards then one we would place on a public good? This seems to just incentives public->private good conversion more, for they don't have to play by the public good playbook.
