Despite his posturing on censorship, Phuckerburg knows that if the legal protection provided by law (platform vs publisher) goes away, FB, Twit, et al will soon be sued out of business.

Likening Trump’s concerns about being censored as if it were govt interference in private businesses is absurd. Pres Trump, as the Executive, is responsible for enforcing the law. He is also given latitude to not enforce the law, at his discretion. So he would possibly be able to decide to no longer enforce the law for Twitter or Facebook.


Twitter CEO Dorsey is starting to sound paranoid. Maybe he’s heard from the SEC?

NOTE These social media platforms are not private businesses——these are publicly-held companies subject to SEC laws.

They raise money from the public and are traded on the stock exchange,

They “say” they are common carriers-—like planes, trains, cabs, buses........

Twitter is not a common carrier-——it is a publicly-held company subject to the laws of the SEC.
