Sound and Fury.

All these are unenforceable — except allowing the FTC to hear complaints about bias.

So, it sets up a complaint line.

The section 230 stuff is not enforceable but calling it out may trigger a wave of litigation against Twitter as it provides the legal rational to breach 230(c)(2) protection.

As you note, the FTC action is the real meat.

TWITTER’S BLATANT HYPOCRISY —— Schiff has repeatedly “spread falsehoods shamelessly” for three years......on broadcast TV some 237 times.

He keeps repeating false claims “he has evidence” of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

A recent WSJ editorial urged people not to trust Schiff anymore.

Schiff is like a mangy, flea-bitten dog obsessively sniffing through garbage, then finally finding a “half-eaten bone”......... and wont let it go.

Some liken Trump’s concerns as if it were govt interference in private businesses. Pres Trump, as the Executive, is responsible for enforcing the law. He is also given latitude to not enforce the law, at his discretion. So he would possibly be able to decide to no longer enforce the law for Twitter or Facebook.


Twitter CEO Dorsey is starting to sound paranoid. Maybe he’s heard from the SEC?
NOTE These social media platforms are not private businesses——these are publicly-held companies subject to SEC laws.

They raise money from the public and are traded on the stock exchange,

They “say” they are common carriers-—like planes, trains, cabs, buses........


Twitter is not a common carrier-——it is a publicly-held company subject to the laws of the SEC.
