I don't know a gentle, polite way to point out that you've hit every platitude in its most thoughtless, vacuous form:

    - You can still disagree with a private company
    - We as a society are thoroughly divided on that, and many disagree that issues of rights and morality are decided democratically
    - Political speech you disagree with has value

I have certainly not hit "every platitude"!

I left out the "protecting our children" platitude. Thought it might be a little bit over the top. ;-)

In any case, I think Glenn Greenwald has the best take on internet censorship:

I stand corrected. You also didn't say that I should move to Somalia. I should be grateful.

I agree about Greenwald's take there.
