More and more it is becoming clear that Google–and Twitter–and Facebook–is acting as a publisher by imposing editorial standards on content and demanding the protections granted it as a “platform”
~~~
Crux of the argument.
Are you a publisher (responsible for content) or a provider (responsible for transmission), or can you enjoy the benefits of both without the drawbacks/restrictions of either? They seem to get the benefits.
Campaign Finance VIOLATION!!!!
It would seem to me and any cogent person that THIS IS SUPPORT OF A PARTICULAR CANDIDATE OVER ANOTHER AND IS A CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION IN KIND..................
Attention Googlers..please return to your safe spaces and wait for further instructions...

Don’t get too enamored of the seemingly “new” Flimsey Grahamnesty.
He’ll be backing amnesty after his next election.
The National Review crowd would tell Marsha to suck it up and start her own Google. Of course they’re psychotic, not to mention the definition of losers.
The social media are not trying to hide it. They have gone over 100% to the side of the democrats. They are using their facilities in the service of the left.
Google = Gulag on free speech
So cake bakeries can ask people to pay to join up for a one time service, and of course members will be subject to a carefully crafted “terms of service” ?
The members get to make their own web page complete, with symbols and messages and other do-dads for their cake?
That page will then be 3-D printed in frosting onto a delicious cake, which will be delivered to the event or wedding of their choice?
It would seem fine, of course, that only certain messages be permitted on those web pages waiting to be communicated to cakes?
For example, the bakery could disallow all messages which offend fundamental Christians?
If the message is offensive (and the bakery will be the judge of course), the member will be notified, and his or her web page deleted, and the cake never printed?
This will probably be done at the last moment before an event, often after stringing the member along hiding the printer software (shadow banning it) until right before the event, say, an election? (That way, even more trouble can be made for that term-of-service-violating scum now former member.)
The baker will also be sure to complain to the the member’s credit card company and boss about how offensive they were with their request for a cake message; and ask that the credit card be cancelled and the member be fired from his or her job? Those extra steps will all be fine under the terms of service?
Yeah, that’s the ticket!
And that is just a normal thing that even disgusting vindictive government facilitated monopolies are allowed to do all they want, and it is not violating anyone’s civil rights?
Right?
Except apparently when it is a Christian bakery, or an uncensored internet center promoting free speech, or any thoughts promoting orthodox Americanism.
