That’s right and Facebook is a forum so no need to apply libel laws to it. If that’s what you said then I misunderstood.

I think Facebook’s problem is that in order to be free of libel issues it cannot act as an editor. But when it removes content it is acting as an editor. They want it both ways. That is why they are lobbying for government intervention. Ironically most Freepers now want the same thing as Facebook which are government regulations.

When has government regulations of speech ever helped conservatives? Campaign finance? Fairness Doctrine? PBS? FCC? FTC? The left is the party of government anything that gives the government more power strengthens leftists.

"When has government regulations of speech ever helped conservatives?"

you're absolutely right on that. It doesn't happen. Right now they're getting around those laws completely and banning all conservatives they don't personally like.

I don't think there is a clear answer to this problem yet. If someone comes up with something. I would love to hear it.
