If an entity acts like a publisher, Congress needs to treat them as such.

Secondly, Google is like a public utility.

Third, they can actually control speech on a national and international level and dictate elections due to what info does or does not get out. They have said they are going to direct/control the 2020 elections.

Fourth, they have monopolistic powers.

Agree 100% The rules we have now were suitable for the beginning of the net not now with monopolistic giants like Google.

Your first point might be correct. I don’t know enough about that.

The second is not. No public grants of easement were provided to google. They are hardly a monopoly.

Just because they are large and liberal doesn’t mean they cannot control their own platform. Build a rival; support a rival; or just scream on the Public Square.

They are under no obligation to post ANYTHING. I am sure it’s in their terms of use.

I am getting really tired of conservatives whining about fairness when there is zero expectation of it.

Bring on the anti trust investigation. Leftists have gone way too far in regards to trampling free speech rights. It’s time to shine the light on this criminality.

These publicly-traded corporations (not private companies) are in violation of CDA/230: They are granted Federal protection from content liability in exchange for acting as non-publishing open platforms.

It is too bad we do not have a legitimate Congress or Department of Justice to represent the interests of We The People.
