That's absurd. There's no such thing as a publicly funded platform that safeguards free speech. How in the word do you expect a government program to work without bias? We can't even have an FBI that works without political influence, and you thing the government will let anyone say anything on THEIR platform?
Get real.
Not to mention the government banning anyone pre-emptively from a service is a free speech issue itself.
Banning politicians from using Twitter is not a free speech issue, it’s the opposite because twitter can decide who is allowed on the platform or not if they want to support that, they can resign. In my opinion having a public forum where free speech that is within the boundaries of the law is protected is preferable to a private entity controlling discourse with no legal recourse. FBI and other three letter agencies are a problem because they are unaccountable due to their secrecy. A public forum would be just that open and accountable where the exchange of ideas can happen freely
