Massive social media platforms like F Book and Twaddle need to either respect political free speech and not throttle views they don’t like, or be subject to liability laws as publishers.
BS. The social media platforms pose no constitutional issue to free speech. As defined by the US Constitution the only entity that is prohibited from imposing restrictions on speech is the US Government.
In other words Trump throttling social media would be unconstitutional censorship.
Jim Robinson can throw everyone of us out if he so chooses. If tomorrow he decided he hated Trump he could impose his standard on anyone on this site.
I disagree. They either let all Americans use the communications system, or they get forced out of business. We should not allow or tolerate such efforts to control the speech of Americans.
“Massive social media platforms like F Book and Twaddle need to either respect political free speech and not throttle views they don’t like, or be subject to liability laws as publishers.”
The crux of the matter.
They cannot on one hand “curate” what is published, and on the other hand be free from liability concerning the content of that publication.
