I think I agree with your intent - the comparison of Big tech is government didn't gel with my perception.

What I agree with is that Big Tech is forming digital Public Spaces (rather than being a government) and as such there should be parity in rights and protections of being in a digital Public Space.

The distinction for me is that ones rights in a Public Space are different to those in a Commercial Communal Space (such as communal space in a Shopping Mall). I'd like to see a trend to open digital environments being treated as Public Spaces and away from Commercial Communal Space.

Because they're not like the big governments with armies, they're like the smaller, local authorities issuing building permits and whatnot.

Less dangerous but more annoying and and should be limited as well.

In what way are they like small governments?
