Social media is not the public square. What would even be the point of creating and investing in a platform if you can't control what's being posted there that's like the entire joke Former First Lady of the United States.

I think companies should be held liable if they don't take down misinformation, but the idea that the government can force a company to KEEP certain things is ridiculous.

He can spew his crap but Twitter, as a private platform, can decide they don't want to be a medium for it. Exactly. He can spew his nonsense on Gab all day. No one will read it, but his 1st amendment rights aren’t being violated. Using the threat of guns and cages to force a private platform to post content against their wishes is not something I want to see our government doing.

I'm literally playing devil's advocate here because eventhough I agree misinformation should be taken down and such, I can at the same time consider how this practice could be a slippery slope to things more nefarious where they could just take down stuff they're biased against. Y'all should be able to do the same thing and think about how that could backfire in the opposite direction. But okay you guys do you and make those of us warning about that out to be nonsensical or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
