How would you feel about a government-funded social media platform that was required to support free speech? (self.conservative)

I mean, considering how crucial social media has become for sharing ideas, the argument would be that the government should facilitate a way for everyone to have access to it.

Having a few big companies control the narrative is hardly free speech.

If you are a conservative that means you believe government should be small. Adding government agencies and services is antithetical to that.

No it doesn't.

Not in theory, and not in practice.
