No, we are saying that social media shouldn’t get “common carrier” status, which isn’t quite the same thing

- emiliobumachar 9y agoCould you please elaborate? What's the difference between "they're responsible for what they host" and "they should decide what people can or can't say on their platform"? (Or, if I misunderstood, what are you calling "not quite the same thing"?)
- gaius 9y agoFacebook et al want to control what content is published on their platforms when it suits them, but also want to hide behind common carrier status to evade responsibility. Having their cake and eating it. Or privatising profits while socialising losses, is another way to look at it.
