In substance I think I agree with your point. It is nettlesome to try to 
codify the perceived freedoms of the digital info stream; it's clear 
inequities of voice and opportunity exist, like the ones you cite...

But who will do the 'selecting,' above? 

And in a way, one asks, who speaks for the inarticulate...?

To take this farther would probably move it off this group......
