    If anyone can pretty much publicize whatever they want online, then are billionaire media owners gagging their freedom of speech? I’m genuinely confused at your confusion.

    The view that major, billionaire-owned journalism companies can gag anyone from exercising their freedom of speech like they’re the only game in town seems outmoded when independent online media & journalism (where practically anyone can call themselves journalist) has disrupted that order since a while ago, and anyone can publish their words online in social media. That claim that may have made sense decades ago doesn’t fit online media today.
