Bad solution. This will invite and excuse their censorship even more, and they will continue to censor conservatives while letting the left off the hook. Actually, the consequences will fall more heavily on small conservative outfits, just as happened with broadcasting’s fairness doctrine. Do we want FR declared a social media site?
A better approach is mandatory disclosure of biased routines and conservative migration to alternate sites. Such migration will take time, but the result will be more freedom for us.
That may be right. It kind of feeds into the scan “net neutrality” plans. Hence the “seems” and the “unintended consequences” portion of my comment. These things can sound great but have to be thought through.
We certainly could not let what you predict happen.
The prepositioning of new laws and regulations — designed to block the predicted reflexive and strategic responses of the left — to them being “called” on their use of federal protection — could be considered too.
An international corporation held by stockholders involved in a multitude of services and sales (Google, Amazon, etc) can be subject to different laws than a small tightly held forum supported by members (FR).
We believe in decentralized limited government. Let’s not make it easy for corporations behaving that same way to force small operations to playt on the same skewed field.
