Exactly. That's why communists don't have a voice anywhere. It's no one's fault that rich and/or politically powerful people more easily align with authoritarianism and fascism and just so happen to own those platforms. It does mean that groups and individuals advocating for under-represented perspective languish in obscurity. And there's no reason why those voices should be represented on any mainstream platform. They have a constitutional right to scream at the top of their fossil-fuel charred lungs about climate change on the corner of the street like any homeless person. They don't have the right to do it on Twitter or Facebook.
People say this but no one ever wants to nationalize social media
