They aren’t even news agencies, they’re privately run public forums. You better cheer on when a D is prez and starts running the EO’s against guns or free speech or whatever.
You are very incorrect.
Twitter/FB and other Big Tech social media enterprises are 100% utterly dependent on being treated as “platforms” and not “publishers” under CDA Section 230.
Their business models absolutely depend on this protection, otherwise they get sued to death instantly.
This liability protection comes with an obligation of neutrality towards content... an obligation breached six ways from Sunday.
Yeah then you will see real censorship again. Trump is trying to stop it, not institute it moron.
To paraphrase from # 381:
They have risen to the level of being public utilities, used for mass communication and in many cases the sole media by which certain information is broadcast and shared.
AT&T, Sprint, & Verizon, are not permitted to censor your phone discussions and neither should Twitter.
You better cheer on when a D is prez and starts running the EO’s against guns or free speech or whatever.
Except this EO is FOR free speech. It is Twitter that is suppressing free speech, not Trump.
