Well it can be called fascist if it's actually run along authoritarian lines. Though no doubt the 'private club' concept lends itself to that sort of abuse.
The problem with that becomes when that "small fascist collective" becomes a large fascist collective, such as Twitter, Google and Facebook - they are no longer small private clubs.
Big clubs just amplify the problems caused by small clubs. Besides those firms are controlled by small nominally private - fascist - clubs. Aka boards of directors and the like.
AND they advertised themselves specifically on the basis of freedom of speech (at least Twitter did).
'freedom of speech' 'regulated' by the US government...
And so their actual deceptions to the public (that they are free speech platforms), has become a fundamental undermine for us humans in the world (those who use said platforms anyway).
ALSO, these corporations were built on fascist non-free-market monopolistic statutory protections.
Indeed. So they are never going to provide any freedom of spreech. Rather they are going to 'shape' speech in cooperation with their partner in crime, the state.
SO, they should pay a very hefty price for their deception.
We wish...
They should be forced for example to make it easy to all their members to use / interoperate with alternative platforms, and they should have to very prominantly display that they are fundamentally fascist.
Oh yes, that will happen when the state 'voluntary' abolishes itself. =)
Jailing people who publish information and images about the crimes of others, protects those who perpetrate the crimes, and hides those crimes from the public, feeding the ostrich syndrome of cucked loosers.
So without free speech, we protect criminals.
Anyway, I agree that some traffic can be classified as outright spam, like, say, advertising posted by bots, but blocking that sort of traffic is not really what's been discussed here.
