> selling it as a platform that anyone can use

Every major online platform has a ToS and in this case, Spotify has a contract with Rogan. So, it's not like a public square that anyone can use, it's more like private property with terms and conditions.

Maybe people think these platforms are open to anyone because they don't read the user agreements, they just click "agree".

> the content on the platform is explicitly not the speech of the platform provider.

Sure, kind of like a book store didn't write the books, but they get to choose which ones they want to give you access to.
