I suppose you believe that it wasn't the government's anti-trust laws that took down the monopoly that Microsoft once was.

I suppose you don't believe they took down AT&T for being a monopoly either.........

Laws, not Executive Orders. Laws have penalties that can be enforced.

This sight sucks.

I’ve gotten the “no thanks” from more credible sources than this.

What’s next, we link to DU threads?

Please block this nonsense.

I expect there will be an adjustment of common-carrier and liability laws.
Basically: either let everyone post, or be liable for any illegal post.
Yes there are laws which can be prosecuted, just bead to tweak rules about how they apply.

One of the most dangerous conspiracy theories being circulated by conservatives is that liberals are leftists spouting socialist propaganda, which they try to back up by showing recordings of liberal leftists spouting socialist propaganda. Since many of them are racial minorities, this kind of thing is banned hate speech.

Unbelievable, don't you just hate those people! They should all be killed with machetes! /s

Do you really believe that his executive orders aren't a prelude to enforcing existing anti-trust laws?

These companies are nothing if not a perfect example of companies anti-trust laws are supposed to break up.

Oh right, you're one of those that let's these companies hide behind their facade of being "private" and not touchable by government entities.

“Shareblue Media, formerly known as Blue Nation Review or Shareblue, is an American liberal news website owned by the journalist and political activist David Brock.”

David Brock...enough said.

Do you really think that's a good idea? To ban any moderation of content?

Can you point out a site that allows absolutely everything to be posted that we could use as a model?

It does own the exemption from civil liability for content. “I’m just a neutral platform. I didn’t tell him to dox and slander you so you can’t sue me” doesn’t work if you’re a publisher and not a platform.
