The platform isn’t the megaphone. That’s the algorithm.

If you’re wanting their access to platforms limited, I’d like the know where you draw the line. Are they allowed to text hate speech to each other? Publish their own email or print newsletters? Should we ban them from access to printers (or printing press while we’re at it)? Should they be allowed to have hateful conversations with large groups of each other?

That's up to the owner of the megaphone.

If the megaphone owner doesn't want you to use it, create your own.
