Why should public platforms operate as common carriers?

Answer

If the platform is owned by a government body, the freedom of speech must be upheld. This is because rights are freedoms that protect private individuals from government.

If the platform is owned by a private body, the owner is able to express his freedom of speech and not provide a platform to a speaker.
