This is exactly the common carrier test needed. Either it’s a common carrier, liability-free regarding content - or it’s not, and it’s liable. The former is what Twitter claims; the latter appears to be the reality.
Common carrier, liability free means it does not shape the content that is carried over its service. But it does, actively.
Exactly. I have been posting that for months: The UniParty lets them have their cake and eat it too:
Liability protection as open platforms, yet allowed to editorialize (censor) as a publisher.
Since they are getting Federal protection under CDA Section 230, that makes this fascistic, and thus indeed governmental censorship in part.
Mike Adams of Natural News is also trying to put together a class action law suit.
P.S.
They are publicly-traded corporations, not private companies, subject to SEC oversight for malfeasance.
