Why does the public get to decide what a private company hosts?

They do via proxy of government laws. The public vs megacorp is not a balanced relationship anyway and will eventually get regulated.

Actually, shareholders do get a say in what a publicly traded company hosts!

That's not the public. But I'm fine with owners of a company deciding what they would like to host.

It often does. You want it to, in many cases.

Because this publically traded company (not private) invites the public to view and share content. Now the public is voicing concern over who they are censoring.

If Google doesn't like it they are free to shutdown the service.

The same people who decide that 2+2=4 and that the sky is blue.

If only the virgin mary were contrary. Science has lost it's power. Someone will choose an interpretation that benefits themselves over the truth. It's normal. Too many tech people are coasting on the libertarian dream of the past.

So I was correct when I said you don't believe in science.

You are the person choosing your own interpretation.

I believe in science, what I don't believe is that people will listen to truth when it is presented. They are two different things. Science has lost its power to object to a higher cultural malaise.

If you understood what it meant for the virgin mary to be contrary, you would understand the words I wrote on the page and my meaning.

You were not correct, you didn't understand my post. Stop dreaming. There are real truths being expressed here.

Great, I agree on both those things and now I'm deciding that the election was frauded by Elvis.
