Private company in what way? The company is publicly traded - there are rules and regulations that organizations have to abide by. it’s not totally lawless current state … They’re legally beholden to shareholders to maximize value. They can do what they like but probably don’t want them allowing certain folks to have a platform (moderating the platform). Meta uses the grey area to manipulate and addict users, that’s just their business practice to drive value and generate views/engagement with their platform.
private company in that it is not owned by the government. Those are the two categories.
Either you’re they’re by the government or they’re by private citizens. being traded on the stock market, or traded privately, or not traded at all makes no difference to them being a private company.
Tesla just got $17 billion from the government, is Musk now owned by the USA government? No.
A coal miner just got laid off work and is collecting his first unemployment check while he looks for new work. Because he got support from the government between jobs, does that mean the government owns him like a slave?
Or perhaps you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about? Yes, that seems to be the case.

Agree this dude is unhinged.

They sure have received a lot of government/taxpayer money for being such a private anti free speech company.
