AWS is reportedly considering banning Parler. If this trend continues we'll soon have a completely balkanized internet where everyone lives in their own bubble and is banned from posting their viewpoints in the opposite bubble.

It's like complaining about shutting down the old chuck e cheese on the interstate.
Slightly off topic: This presents an interesting thought exercise- how would that stat be calculated? Does a dev with a github repo, Twitter account, and active account on a discord server have more or less of a presence on the web than a retiree with a Facebook account, two yahoos, and a google profile that frequently comments on the youtube videos they binge watch daily?
Not disputing, just musing.
It is not as simple as you make it out to be. The real slipperly slope is unlimited powers that Big Tech currently enjoys. But yeah you and everyone else will realise in days to come as to why this argument of yours was wrong to begin with. You haven't thought it through. You just want a short-term problem resolved immediately: throw Trump out of office asap, shutdown conspiracy theory sites and stifle any expression for the right wing. You haven't thought of the long term consequences a.k.a Second Order Effects.
One could argue tech companies have a monopoly problem but you’re just saying a private company should allow anyone to say anything on their platform and throwing a ridiculous slippery slope out in front of it.
