We are a private platform for hosting content. We are free to choose who can post and do business on our platform. We set and enforce rules for many reasons, including to protect the people on our platform, along with our own moderation and admin team.
namely, a publisher has the legal right to trim content. platforms don't, they're public squares. you either explicitly hold the right to trim content that doesnt break the law, or you don't and doing so violates the law.
This is not true. Your examples are corporations being litigated in an antitrust lawsuit. itch.io is a small company, representing a fraction of the industry. Additionally, there is no legal requirement for us to host anyone's content, we are not a "public square".
I don't mean to be rude, but if you don't like how the business is operated then you're free to leave and post your work elsewhere. Sorry
