As with others, I think your "and/or" between government and "big tech" is problematic.

I think government censorship should be strictly prohibited. I think "company" censorship is just the application of the first amendment.

Where I think the problem lies with things like YouTube is the fact that we have _monopolies_, so there is no "free market" of platforms.

I think we should be addressing "big tech" censorship not by requiring tech companies to behave like a government, but rather by preventing any companies from having so much individual power that we _need_ them to behave like a government.

We should have aggressive anti-trust laws, and interoperability requirements for large platforms, such that it doesn't matter if YouTube decides to be censorious, because there are 15 other platforms that people can viably use instead.
