I disagree.
This would open up these companies to law suits from conservatives for lies liberals are allowed to keep on these services.
It would be a gravy train!
“ The biggest hammer to ensure political censorship doesn’t occur is the threat of withdrawing CDA protection.”
That’s not a hammer, it’s a noodle.
It’s really more akin to our intelligence agreements: we’ll do your dirty work and you’ll do ours.
It would be patently illegal for the government to censor speech; however, it’s perfectly legal for any “private” agency. The sheer scale of these companies makes their influence virtually incalculable. Safe in our tiny FR cocoon, most of us have no idea how few people in the nation have any notion of the truth.

The stakes are real, but the arena is not quicksand, but quicksilver. Saint George may have slain the dragon, but who can slay the quadrillions of bytes now arrayed against freedom and liberty?
