A Platform can hold a monopoly and challenged as a public "property" (so to speak) in our new world. ie. In respect to Free Speech. ie. Reddit.

A Forum is a private space, accessed by the public and the owner has the right to run it as they see fit, in general.

You haven't actually explained the functional difference between a forum and a platform. THIS is a privately owned space accessed by the public. And so is twitter, facebook, youtube and the rest of them.

Now, show me one of these publicly owned "platforms" where people are legally entitled to free speech?

Media platforms are technologies and standards that allow writers or other media “producers” and readers and other “consumers” of media to interface more efficiently. ... Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc., are platforms that connect disparate media creators and curators with consumers of that media.

Platforms observe the obligation to provide access to ALL content that is not illegal in nature OR they become publishers. They cannot discriminate based on ideology or they forfeit their rights not to be sued for content or discriminatory behavior. The .WIN community is a Platform.

A Forum is a privately owned space accessed by the public such as OmegaCanada.WIN.

Platforms WILL have their Protections revoked if they continue to act as Publishers and continue to discriminate against those who exercise their right to Free Speech.
