Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt?

As @larsman said, Audiogon is a private company. I just don't understand the argument people make about free speech when dealing with private entities and that means all social media as well. Get it through your head, a private company is FREE to do as they choose in the marketplace. If you don't like it, you don't have to use the service.

There should be a master list of restricted words.
