No one has to do that for you, and the existing platforms have good reasons, which you'll never listen to, why they decided to do what they now do, which is minimalist moderation, mostly to enforce a very limited set of rules (I linked the twitter ones for you above). Some of those reasons relate to legal liability, some to usability, some to histories of abuse. Go look for the Klonick article if you want to actually undrestand any of it, but, really, you don't need to, because it's up to them to decide what to do with their platform.
As to we versus I, look, you're a tiresome mix of thick skulled and myopic with a dash of poor reading comprehension thrown in. In other words, the perfect patsy for the grifters that ail us.

Neither you nor Ty has explained how banning the Hunter Biden story was light moderation, or merely following a corporate policy.
That story didn’t offend anyone, and it was not disinformation.
Ty came close to explaining it when he noted that management at platforms are constantly being pushed by the woke. That leads to the following conclusion: Twitter shut down the Post’s account because the spreading of a valid story which even the NYTimes recognizes as credible upset employees or some users of the platform. Why did it upset them? Well, that’s unknown. But no one would be talking out of school to suggest that these employees and users were scared it could help tip a very close election to Trump.
Ty is correct, this is not management crafting consensus. This is a group of people of a certain ideology crafting consensus.
That’s scary. It’s Brent Bozell’s pressure/boycott strategy from the 80s used on platforms by their own employees.
Your last sentence is hot rhetoric with no heft. No one is a patsy for looking at how a newsworthy story about a candidate and the newspaper offering it were suspended from Twitter just before an election. Even the Times and Jack Dorsey are admitting it was error. It smells bad, objectively.
