I don't want to go around in circles here any more. This is "working" in the sense that this is exactly what it means to support the freedom of expression: you tolerate the freedom of groups independent from the government to exercise their speech, while maintaining your ability to speak against them for their actions. It's "working" in the sense that you have no legitimate alternative solution, because the only alternative involves the coercive suppression of speech by the government. Until and unless you can argue for something we haven't already discussed here, you will need to prove that a) those you regard as being "censored" have no (as in zero, empty set) legitimate alternative outlets for speech and b) there exists a legislative remedy for this "censorship" which does not, in turn, outweigh itself in the suppression of speech of private organizations.

Or, you can just admit that your narrative that there's a vast left-wing conspiracy to dismantle freedom of speech is a crock of shit. I know which would be easier.
