So, create a court system basically that decides on free speech issues. Got it. Likely will arrive at the same conclusion as the legal system that’s been operating for over 200 years.

There’s a reason the legal system said free speech is out to the point of direct imminent harm. It was the arrogance of 20 year old programmers in silicon valley who thought they could create a better legal system.

The legal system largely doesn't have to worry about advertisers and users fleeing the country.

That's one big problem with these (US based) companies. They don't apply the spirit of the laws in their own home country that allowed/allows them to exist. Zuckerberg has even claimed that fb is a "digital town square".

They don't mind enforcing speech laws of other countries, lowest common denominator.

No tears would be shed if they were broken up, nationalized, etc.
