It’s looking bad for Facebook and Twitter, in the medium term, maintaining their legal status as “neutral platforms” rather than “media outlets.”

A lot of people aren’t aware that, while conservatives consider the big social media companies to be obviously left-wing, the far left considers them far too “conservative.” They may get the Zot in a Harris/Biden administration.

Which may explain their zeal in "fact-checking."

Twitter and Facebook are neutral platforms in the same way that war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength.

My proposal has always been that the regulators force those companies to separate their data collection/maintenance from the presentation layers. Make the data management a public utility and allow resellers to tailor the data however the users like.
