No, it isn't the purpose of government to just make demands of private businesses. It's absolutely unreasonable for the government to do so with intent to censor

None of that is true. Go away if you the only thing you have to contribute is libertarian lies about basic accountability being tyranny.

Lmao why should I go away just because you have nothing except outright lies to defend your demands to terminate basic rights.

why should I go away

Because you have nothing but lies and misunderstandings of basic facts to contribute, neither of which are beneficial to anyone.

because you have nothing except outright lies

Going for the gold medal in projection?

How does asking to see how they moderate their content behind closed doors terminating basic rights? Can you describe which right they're terminating here?

Governments make demands of private businesses all the time with things like workers rights, safety regulations, emissions standards, etc. We don't live in a libertarian no holds barred corporate wonderland and we're better for it as these businesses have long proved they can't be trusted if left to their own devices.
