It makes perfect sense to harmonize the regional NAFTA rules with US law, which is what this provision does.

Allowing Google and other mega giants to control speech is sensible because it "harmonizes" regional NAFTA rules with US law?

What is that even supposed to mean?

And you ignore my point. I told you that when a company is big enough, the lines between it and government blur. This ability to tamper with legislation is a perfect example of what I mean.

This time it was the legislative branch that did their bidding. Bureaucrats in the executive branch will also do their bidding.

On second thought, just go back to sleep. May you have pleasant dreams of "free" markets and such.

It means that those protections for social media sites are already in US law and have been for some time.

All this does is make sure they get the same treatment in Canada and Mexico.

No, the US Congress made this law over 20 years ago.

It was the Executive Branch negotiators who made sure it was applied to our partners in the new NAFTA.
