But Rand Paul would be AGAINST this (just as he supported the techs when they de-platformed him), because Facebook is a PRIVATE COMPANY.

(don’t blame me, take it up with Rand, he helped prevent Trump from ending this shit)

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.
