I don’t see how it can be constitutional

Social media platforms are given immunity in regard to what posters post. If they censor the posts, then they would lose those protections since they would then be responsible for everything posted on their platforms. They can’t censor and then claim immunity since everything they don’t censor would be considered in line with their own views.

Either allow free expression or accept liability for every post.

So explain to me again how this is constitutional? It's a private company and Executive Orders are not for this.

As conservatives, let's at least be consistent.

Free market solution: come up with a different platform and market the crap out of it.
