The EU definition of free speech online includes platforms. https://slate.com/technology/2022/10/digital-services-act-european-union-content-moderation.html
Platforms meaning major internet giants.
The reason why Lemmy encourages free speech better than the major platforms is that people can just start their own Lemmy.
The argument that people gave for supporting suppression of political speech on platforms was that "you can just start your own site, you don't have to use twitter/fb/etc". With the death of reddit, we can clearly see that is much easier said than done, but I think Lemmy is making progress in that direction.
This was a very interesting article.
