“I don’t like what FB et al are doing. But the same means by which many want to grant Leviathan the power to regulate a few servers and wires that NOBODY IS FORCED TO USE is the same means by which guns can be regulated out of existence, dissent can be quashed, and state socialism/governmental choosing of winners and losers can be enacted.”
I’m fine with this, but these social media platforms have been given a special exemption to the law that they fully use when convenient. That gives them responsibility.
Exactly. They are lifting and shifting around the law to control political and cultural thought.
That’s fascism, pure and simple.
Then, a bill should be drafted in the Congress to repeal those special exemptions. I’m sure it would be signed by Trump. That’s certainly a more efficient approach - and more in line with conservative values - than the break-up/chopping off the foot over a hangnail approach.
