This is for show. It actually accomplishes nothing. Big tech can ignore it with impunity. There is no force of law.

Telecommunication 47USC202(a) of the US Code still is in play and the reason why phone companies could not cut off service for individuals LARPing, uttering unpopular speech to whoever you were talking with on the other line, gossip, and other slander (Person-to-person or conference calls to a room full of people). The war right now is if SM are platforms, publishers, or distributors. Either way the FCC owns each of their "asses" through the Necessary and Proper Clause combined with numerous ways to open up the floodgates for these providers to be sued beyond oblivion for shadowbanning and other discriminatory practices that violates "good faith" clauses in 47USC230 and of course 47USC202(a).

So either these outlets become platforms or if they wish, become editors/publishers and become open for libel. The days of enjoying "both" are hopefully ending soon.
