Not really. If you want, you can start conversations on state-run comment sections of government websites. They aren’t allowed to ban you. Just as an example, US politicians are forbidden from blocking people on their official Twitter accounts.
Everything on the Internet is owned by someone. Until someone comes up with a BitTorrent-type protocol for this stuff, anyway. Someone is paying the costs of hosting and someone is paying the costs of development. The person who pays is the owner. The owner can be a private company, a non-profit organisation, or the state. It depends how you want it.

Is it just the subs I go to or does this place go torches and pitchforks on anybody with a strange idea?

Ah the accusation. The exclamation point of the enlightened.
