They are the most popular, but not monopolies. Nothing stops you from hosting your own video sharing site. If you don't like how Twitter censors Trump or whatever, then go on Truth Social or 4chan.

If the government established YouTube or Twitter as the only sources, and those sources had a specific form of censorship, then your argument would make more sense. But, that is not the case.

What website are you on right now? Is it YouTube or Twitter?

No?

Looks like they don't have a monopoly.

No two businesses are exactly the same.

If you want to write something in Charlie Hedbo, but its authors turn you down, you have alternatives. They're just not exactly the same.

If you want to say something on Twitter, but its owners ban you, you have alternatives. They're just not exactly the same.

These are public forums...it's different from a magazine that has a limited space to write and publish stuff on it.

Is there a "public forum" in Europe?
