What needs to be looked at is de-platforming Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc. and making them subject to the same liability laws as publishers. They will be drowning in slander lawsuits in no time if that happens. At present they are immune from such because they claimed to be public platforms which respected freedom of speech.
