The limited editorial that is allowed for a company to be considered a platform instead of a publisher is meant for them to remove illegal content (like child porn). It is not meant to allow them to take political positions on user content.

You either have first amendment protection as a speaker/publisher with an editorial process or you are a platform that isn’t responsible for the speech on it. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
They should be forced to pick one.

Here’s the deal, dummies who are like “it’s a private company” — censoring certain views based on politics means that Facebook is a publisher not a platform and therefore they should have their liability waiver on illegal user posted content revoked.
