Sweet. Twitter, et al, are not simple content carriers. They filter it, they own it.

Social media lies to Congress and Congress does nothing.

THIS.

Make them decide, either they stop censoring and editing and continue enjoying their present status, or they will be considered to be publishers and held to the same standard.

This is such a no-brainer I can’t imagine why it has taken this long to do it. Thank you Rep. Gohmert!

Congress.gov says the text of the bill is not yet available. The devil will be in the details. If all it does is deal with "algorithms", then it will do very little about censorship. Activists brigading and feeding the armies of SJWs being hired by Big Tech monopolies are capable of doing most of the censorship.

Great bill, Louie, but there’s almost no chance of it passing at this late hour.

Paul Ryan will not let it come up for a vote before the House ajourns for Christmas.

They will still filter and manipulate it, but call it something else, and go right on doing what they are doing now.

The quality of an elected government will never exceed the quality of the press.

Great bill. I can hear the giant sucking sound now of all the key Washington power players hoovering up campaign contributions and informational junkets from the tech giants.

Great idea! Won’t happen.

They thoroughly have their cake and eat it too: protected as open platforms but functioning as content publishers.
