I am not happy about this. Let the market control the media.
This now gives the next president the opportunity to shut down voices like Rush.
he’s not shutting down .... he’s opening up ....
Zuckerberg is the market. You can’t speak of markets in a monopolistic situation.
“I am not happy about this. Let the market control the media.”
The social media has a monopoly, right up to the Nov. 2020 election. No market will be able to correct for that; meanwhile all the social media (twitter/facebook/utube, etc.) will censor, suppress, eliminate as much conservative opinion on their sites as possible, to sway the election. So much for your market forces. Be realistic.
Have you read the laws? The dispute is about whether an organization is a publisher, or a platform supporting content distribution. If they censor and edit according to a bias or political viewpoint, they are then considered to be a publisher and are then liable for lawsuits. As simply a content distributor (like telephone companies supplying a platform for communications free of censoring), they have protections provided by government.
Twitter broke the rules, and are now considered a publisher open to lawsuits because of their interference as a content distributor. The market is controlling the media; President Trump's action reaffirms this.
You haven’t really studied this issue, have you?
“ I am not happy about this. Let the market control the media.
This takes away the neutral “platform law” and places them where they should be - content providers.
Concern troll is concerned
This is like saying go invent your own
communications utility
We conservatives are being censored within the public
spectrum we the people ALL own
This affects public companies.
Is Rush a “public company?”
These companies didn’t get big from “the market” - they got big through government preferences. Perfectly OK to take those away - and let them face the consequences of the real market.
