I’ve contended for a while....if you create a FREE virtual public space it should be held to the same free speech standard of a FREE physical public space.
I do not differentiate between the physical vs virtual. If you want to censor you need to make it a PAID and, therefore, PRIVATE space.
I can live in my fantasy land ;p
The USSC has held (quite rightly I might add) that just because a corporation owns a ‘town square’, doesn’t give them the right to stifle speech there.
Large social media companies have created the de facto ‘town square’ of our time.
Eventually the Supreme Court needs to get around and do this. And have it become a precedent. Clarence Thomas is 74 now. The clock is ticking....
