If you are going with what the founding fathers wanted then you should be comfortable with PRIVATE (as in not the government) companies doing whatever the hell they want within their terms of service. No contract has been breached when Apple, Google, Amazon deplatformed Parler. If you want to make this into "but they control speech on the internet with their reach..." then it is no longer about "what the founding fathers" wanted and you should be willing to make this a non-absolutist argument in which case it is mo longer clear cut that restricting this speech is bad.
You may want to reread the comment I was responding to. I quote it again.
>The western liberal value of free speech has never extended to incitement of violence.
Never implies going back in time. I was pointing out the historical opinion given does not line up with existing evidence. As such your point point about private companies is irrelevant.
Though I can still point out that we are looking at private companies that are serving as utilities and being given special protections (contracts, regulatory capture, and similar) by the government to the extent they can be considered part of the government.
