@TheHuxleyAgnostic Glenn quit The Intercept, which he founded, because THEY BREACHED HIS CONTRACT. They thought they could, because they paid him so much. They thought he'd fold. They not only refused, contrary to his contract, to print the substance of what he wrote, they also attempted to prevent him from publishing the article elsewhere.
So, he quit. When someone violates your contract, and you can't persuade them to respect it, you walk away. This was about a contract. He's a lawyer, he knows he can't tell editors out in the world how to edit -- and as a First Amendment advocate, it wouldn't cross his mind to try.

@TheHuxleyAgnostic The local shop analogy is worthless because the Internet is global, with near-instant access almost anywhere in the world, and has immense, virtually limitless capacity for data. The local shop bulletin board is small, under the shopkeeper's easy access and control, and doesn't enjoy broad federal immunities from lawsuit, either.
In a recent case, Yelp did not have to remove proven defamation. By proven, I mean in court, a final judgment. The victim had to find the long-gone defendant and get a court order to make her take it down, and couldn't. Yelp is immune, and refused to take it down by its own volition. How would you like your business smeared?
