That’s the thing.

They are NOT protected by CDA 230.

Those protections forbid things like the fact check they applied to Trump’s tweets.

They blew it. Unrecoverable. They are now by definition NOT a platform... and therefore have no viable business model moving forward.

“Those protections forbid things like the fact check they applied to Trump’s tweets.”

I’m sure somebody will make that assertion in court.

But it’s a reach, at best.

They way to handle this is through the US Congress with new legislation and law. It’s likely the only chance of prevailing.

It not hard to figure out that many of these companies both dominate their markets and practice anti competitive behaviors.

Now, there are other ways to screw a big company when you are the Executive.
