Your open mic night hypothetical is not a shadow ban. That's just a normal ban. Which is I think what people are asking for. If these social media companies are going to censor us on the Internet we essentially built via govt subsidies hell we even essentially build these companies by giving straight to them gov't subsidies then fuck yea notify us that we are actively being censored.

True, but they were talking about censorship, not shadow banning.
