> Why is the basic assumption that a corporation whose goal is to connect people should be responsible for what those connected people share with each other? Their goal isn't to connect people. That sounds like something Zuckerberg would say. Their goal is to make money from their users data. Facebook is responsible because they have algorithms which show and hide items in the news feed. If they merely showed what was posted without any sophisticated algorithms I think they could claim some innocence. Facebook doesn't care about freedom. They care about not pissing off their conservative user base and losing them to other sites, like Gab, or perhaps Chinese clones that Zuckerberg is worried about.
