Personally, I tend to agree with Rand on this.
A “publisher” should be allowed their own biases, just like fox news has their and MSNBC has a very different set of biases.
What I don’t agree with is that Facebook and Google and Twitter can have Section 230 protection when they declare themselves publishers and not platforms. If they want section 230 protections, then they shouldn’t be meddling in elections, censoring opinions, or white listing their pet favorites.
They’re corporations, it is HIGHLY ILLEGAL for them to interfere in elections (if it was legal, companies in the pre-woke days would have prevented this nightmare)...but Rand is fine with it, I guess.
The real culprit in this is the CEO of a company using the shield of the limited liability corporation to protect them from personal lawsuits brought by ordinary citizens. If citizen’s sue Facebook they have to defend the company with however many billions it takes to win. But if Mark Zuckerberg had to defend his acts or lose a large portion of his wealth in a class action suit he would focus on his legitimate job of maximizine shareholder value of his company and not on saving the world from reelecting Donald Trump.
The corporation charter law needs to be changed to only indemnify the CEO from lawsuits brought by shareholders or managers of the company and not from ordinary citizens. With the current law the CEOs have superpowers that ordinary people don’t have with no accountability to general society.
You are a fool. These are not private companies they are utilities and need to be regulated
