Yes, maybe he missed that point. It's actually a rather
'technical' and factual issue.
We know there's censorship in metzger's list because that
information can be freely communicated here. But if we follow
the 'logic' of 'private' censorship, and all media are
controlled by the alleged 'owners' then we would never know
about censorship or about being in the matrix...
Likewise, arguments with censors are meaningless since the
censors can control what their opponents say.

If you listen to fake libertarians they love to rant about how
there's only 'property rights' and hence no free speech.
It's a sophism that's convenient for lazy people. If you own
your house, then people in your house can only say what you
want to hear. LOLWUT. Oh yes, because "your house, your rules"
again, lolwut.
It's just conservative garbage, but people have been
brainwashed into believing it's a 'sound argument'. When in
reality, it is technically a non-sequitur.
From "house ownership" it doesn't follow "you have the right to
dictate what people in your house say"
Just like, if someone is standing in your lawn and tresspasing,
it doesn't follow that you have the right to execute him in
'self defense'. etc.
