If Zuckerberg wants to shut down, D and S he has every right to.

[Darteaus94025]

He certainly does! AND the Federal Government has every right to regulate interstate commerce, aka Facebook!

[servo1969]

He sure does.

And everyone has the right to act accordingly.

Initially, yes.

But if he is a social media monopoly, what right does he have to act as a wing of the democrat party, and suppress debate?

[MayflowerMadam]

I’m not sure about that. Didn’t Cruz say that because of the type of filing MZ chose for registering / starting FB (maybe re FCC), he doesn’t have that right? Maybe I’m wrong but that’s how we understood what Cruz said.

[JBW1949]

Yes , he does, but what is really childish and stupid is giving the lame excuse for doing it...

“A danger to the community.”....What stupidity...

I don’t want the government to decide what must be allowed on my web site. When does my web site become a monopoly? That decision invites abuse of power. When all the media went left in the 1980s Rush Limbaugh flourished. On the interwebs the barriers are even lower than an AM radio talk show.

While I agree that he does have the right to refuse sevice to anyone, I think so do bakers. And until bakers are awarded the ability to pick and choose who they will provide service, FB should be held to at least the same standards, especially being a publically traded company. FB has more of a monopoly on social media than the bakers in WA had in their small sector.

[blueplum]

either he’s a neutral platform or he’s a political platform. A monopoly can’t have it both ways.

Wait and see!

If they did it in print media, yes, but not on electronic media. Congress has total power to regulate them as the public utility that they clearly are when they operate on web infrastructure.

Since FB is used as a public utility, he doesn't have the right to arbitrarily ban D&S.

Gov of Hawaii uses Facebook to notify residents ICBM alert was a mistake

There are no "rights" anymore. Liberal hypocrisy is what's in. Ask anyone who doesn't want to bake a cake for a gay wedding.

Then Facebook should be registered as a political action committee and they violated many election laws.

But doing so goes against everything he’s been telling them during the grilling.....
