I don’t see why Apple or Google should have to be carriers of hate speech?
And let’s be honest. The latitude these tech companies have shown to this point is enormous. I’m amazed it took this long. I think their patience with this nonsense has been monumental.
This is a huge win for society and I don’t see the risks the way you do I guess.

I agree that today’s actions are a win for our society.
I think your argument that people could just build their own cell phone operating systems, and App Store and nothing is stopping them illustrates the problem. It’s no longer possible due to barriers to entry to create a new cell phone operating system in this round of technology.
I hope the anger from the right is used to break up tech companies. They shouldn’t be selling the hardware, the software, the apps, a payment system, and more. It makes it to easy to prevent meaningful competition.
