There is no conservative case for regulating the internet. Period.

I think “social media” is on minute 13 of it’s 15 minutes of fame. they’re on the verge of destroying themselves (or at least their credibility), and saving us the trouble.

Reality check: when the Founding Fathers wrote the first amendment regarding the freedom of speech or of the press (basically political discourse shall not be infringed), well, the press then meant papers, and it was completely decentralized, as in it wasnt in the hands of 5-6 corporations, as its the case today. Also, there was no internet back in the 18th century, or at least none that Im aware of. This is the same type of pretzel logic the left uses against the 2nd Amendment.
NO THANKS.

“theyre firm believers in social justice”
They’re tax-dodging experts.
Maybe they truly are believers in social justice after all.

Regulate them as public utilities or bring anti trust actions against Google, Amazon, Facebook and Twitter. Speech codes and the any form of viewpoint discrimination should be banned.

No conservative should advocate more regulation of business. If you don’t like what a business is doing, don’t use that business.

At a minimum, they should be registered at PACs and have to follow all election law. They are not private companies, they are fully wings of the DNC.

No, they should not be regulated. The idea that someone brought up about hitting them with anti-trust is a good one.
I think that the market just may well correct the censoring abuses of these platforms. Look how much Facebook just dropped in value.

He has this partially wrong. They don’t need to be regulated like a utility, but SCOTUS established many years ago that when a private company controls the public square in the same way that government traditionally does, the First Amendment’s prohibitions on censorship apply to them. We just need a statute clarifying that.

Different animals. No doubt the LEFT will get discrimination against conservatives codified.
kind of like the fairness doctrine and net neutrality.
Keep the govt out.
