Episode notes
The discussion revolves around private companies' right to control content and opinions on their platforms, particularly in the context of big tech. The speaker expresses frustration at being censored by CNBC for discussing political topics. The point is made that these companies, although private, have significant power over content moderation. Examples are cited where companies like Twitter (referred to as X in the snip) change rules post-acquisition, leading to user content alterations. The concern is raised that private companies might regulate content without considering free speech principles, raising questions about the need for regulations to enforce proper behavior, potentially through legal action.
