InfoWars, EIB and Fox are content providers.
Fakebook is a platform. They have no content of their own. The Common Carrier legal theory should prevail.
Nay, Facebook is content. The user’s postings are the content. The minuscule news feeds are content from another source. The chat and mail are content.
That they choose to publish other content is a secondary business. They do not charge other content providers. They just make their service available to others (some others) in order to keep their users viewing their paid advertising.
Not at all unlike Fox or EIB.
The PLATFORM is the world wide web and the underlying internet and naming services. And that’s what must be protected.
Not the triviality of just another content provider.
When the entire enforcement bureaucracy is against you it is foolish to rely on the enforcement bureaucracy. If we really believe in the free market, then that us where we should put our efforts. the format is known, there is no magic in the code,it comes down to a great name and marketing. lets have a contest for a great name. BTW, Facebook is a great name. we can do better. The money is available at the drop of a hat.
