What the hell are you going on about? Do you want Jim Robinson held accountable for everything that gets posted on FR? This is a WIN for free speech and Web forums, not a loss.

Free Republic doesn't have a billion accounts worldwide. Google is a threat. Facebook is a threat. When you control that many people's communications stream, you are a threat.

Free Republic is not a threat. It is an asset.

Absolutely wrong, on all counts. The legislation being proposed to end social media censorship (SMACA) applies only to social media that are so large that they are the public square. There are only about three of them. Small forums like FR are exempt.

He’s been accountable for it for well over 20 years and hasn’t had a problem.

This is FB/Twitter etc. wanting to not be liable for their censorship regime. This is like the phone company being able to deny you service because they don’t like your opinion... and getting away with it.
