said, "you have yet to produce any laws."

I just said you would say that! LOL!
Again my argument is there are no laws at all against what they're doing. Not even contract law. Everyone else needs to follow laws set down for contracts except social medias.

When you sign up you're required to agree to their terms of service. That is a contract which SHOULD be based on US or international contract laws. They don't.

The way they get around it is claiming there service isn't a platform and not a publisher. Which I posted a link from a law site showing that argument from social media's perspective.

Since they're not a publisher or a platform there are no laws created at all and are at the moment not bound by anything other then what they feel is best for them.

When you agree to their terms of service. They don't need to inform you of any mistake you might have made before closing your account. ALL other contract laws require a notice of compliance before service is closed.

I see you are claiming they have no laws but you want them to follow some other laws you have in mind for them. I believe the whole realm of the US Criminal code applies to them as well as OSHA, EPA, IRS, EEOC, and a few hundred state and local laws. All laws regarding contracts and apply to them. Of they have public stock they have SEC laws. They must comply with banking laws. If they sell goods or device then the FTC laws apply.

They have to follow they same contract law as everyone else. If you have a contract with them and there are is a breech you have all the same rights in law that you would have with any other contract. There is no special contract law for social media. Where do you get that idea they are exempt from contract law.

What are they doing that needs a law?
