> I also don't want private companies to be forced to host just about any content people want to publish.

That's the thing - they're not being 'forced' to host content. They willingly offering a service to host all and any (at least legal) content. If they're no longer willing to do that, then they're no longer a neutral Internet service provider. They're a private publisher and morally opinionated content moderator, like Facebook. That makes them no longer a provider of 'free' and 'open' Internet.

Perhaps a solution that makes everyone happy is strong / privacy layered end-to-end DNS encryption in a way that Cloudflare never sees or can control the delivery and allocation of website addresses based on domain queries. Not sure if it's possible, but I'm thinking something like Tor .onion site HSDirs and lots of cryptography is involved.

Also, people should just filter out the content they don't want to see, instead of everyone being forced to agree on what's good or bad as if they're all in the same one-size-fits-all boat.
