You raise some good points and it’s clear that it’s not a simple problem. However, I disagree with the idea of trusting the state to decide what is “good” or “bad” speech, and censoring it without transparency. This could lead to very bad patterns that can over time kill a democracy. I agree that corporations are not great either, but at least there’s competition there, and more checks and balances.

Yes, some has to call some shots. The state as body politic of the society looks like the right institution to work.
