I understand your fears. But ANY infringements, for any stated reason, regardless of wording, would be turned against freedom. History is littered with “legislated fairness” that leads to evil.
Like it or not, anything legislated that requires fairness or gets to rule on what is hate or fact or fake will ultimately boil down to who has the power to interpret what is acceptable and what is not.
You want government to control Facebook and Google and whether they can pick and choose acceptable content? Then the government needs to take them over and make it part of the Public Broadcast System. Is that the direction we want to go? It’s all about precedence.
Remember the days before Fox Television and Conservative Talk Radio? A new market and competition sprung up. Let freedom fix the problem. Now, where are the alternatives to Facebook and Google?
I don't know if there is or if anyone would want legislation to address this.
My concern is that because we on the right want to uphold the rights of private companies to do business as they see fit we are shutting ourselves out of this discussion.
I don't want more laws controlling people or businesses but we have to be aware of how the left operates and what their plans are.
The fact is they have no intention of 'playing fair'. They will not seek a compromise. They will simply by-pass us and tell companies what to do.
This is an issue we have to watch and be engaged in or we will be shut out.
