You could move between company towns just like you can move between digital platforms. In fact moving from Facebook to another platform is probably more difficult than moving to a different company town, given the fact alone that there are maybe less than a handful of competitors, if at all.
Facebook really is nothing else than a company town of the digital space, or to put it even more strongly, facebook is almost the equivalent of a digital nation state, with its own market, its own rule of conduct, its own laws and contracts and so on.
To circumvent the speech issue by acting as if Facebook is your neighbours mom and pop business completely distorts the nature and influence it has over everyone's life, and the amount of hardship you encounter if you're forbidden from speaking on its platform.
