    I’m not taking about neutral as in in the middle. The medium through which you communicate doesn’t favor any message over any other. So it should only be judged based on how good it is at relaying messages, not who has more access to the medium or what they use it to relay.

      It does favor messages over others though. Technically mostly anyone with an internet connection can put something out there, but what actually gets to be seen by many depends largely on the communication infrastructure. Yes, the platforms we use, and who controls them.
