      I don’t inherently oppose private platforms controlling who is allowed to comment- I oppose the government deciding certain beliefs are too radical to be allowed on any platform.

          Exactly and sites that profit off of hosting extremist content that radicalises terrorists need to be held accountable for their actions.

          Implies government led accountability.
