My main issue with this is : if they can’t be held liable they shouldn’t be allowed to pick and choose what customers say either - or they should at least have to hire outside to make the decision if they are getting off the hook.

My position is that communications companies larger than a certain size, say a million users or so, and which bill themselves as a public access system, should not be able to regulate user speech except for clearly illegal postings.

Google is regulating it's traffic to suppress conservative speech, and to promote liberal speech. Their search results routinely reflect their own preferred biases, and not a objective search result that people think they are getting.

Google is becoming a serious threat, and other communications companies are becoming threats as well, although lesser threats than Google.
