    They can actually moderate their boards and reach a really wide audience. I believe it’s because most news organizations barely have resources available. But governments should definitely be present.

      I’m not referring to discussion forums, but employees of news orgs being protected from capricious asshole owners of social media platforms. e.g. CNN’s Donnie O’Sullivan was banned from Twitter for reporting on Elon Musk’s war with flight tracking accounts. He wasn’t the only journalist either. Or news orgs as a whole not receiving media ticks or being tagged negatively (e.g. called US government sponsored news site) because (again) the owner of the network is an asshole.
