“I’ll need to see more evidence that this is constitutional”

Neither Twitter or Facebook are licensed or regulated by the FCC.

However, they are protected by Section 230 of the CDA. And that’s Law.

And absent new law, they are not subject to regulation.

That’s the thing.

They are NOT protected by CDA 230.

Those protections forbid things like the fact check they applied to Trump’s tweets.

They blew it. Unrecoverable. They are now by definition NOT a platform... and therefore have no viable business model moving forward.
