If we replaced Sarah Palin with some left-wing politician, I'm not sure this article would get any traction. People would be saying "their platform, their rules", "freedom of speech only applies to the government" and calling out author for his sexist slurs and throwing around the "hate speech" label.

I'm not sure what the solution is, even recent articles on proposed social media legislation[1] led to comments that Trump is trying to "censor the internet".
