The social media companies are not Government, but they are
Government protected. Therefore they are only semi-private. They
have entered the realm of public utility. And that invokes the realm
of discrimination.
So either make them as [liable] as everyone else, or make them not
discriminate.
There is also the area of monopoly and antitrust, but I have varied
opinions regarding those.
We have never before had a president who incited a riot against our
capitol and then congratulated and thanked the perpetrators. So when
the media platforms ban that criminal, seditious behavior, it's
because it's criminal and seditious, not because a Republican is doing
it.
I have heard this allegation several times yet I cannot find a link or
transcript. Would you be so kind?
The tweets in question have been taken down. But a quick perusal of the
news media should give you plenty of information, including direct
quotes and clips of his speech just before the riot.
We're already way off topic for this NG, so I'll have nothing more to
say about it. I expect most of the thread will be taken down soon by the
moderators.
