Reddit Must End Politically Motivated Publishing Decisions
- nabla9 7y agoAs far as I know FB hearings are about political ads. Correct me if I'm wrong (with sources), but I have not seen any interest from Congress to force social media to be impartial related to organic political speech and forums. First Amendment restricts only government, not private business or people. Maybe someone could educate me on the principles based on this opinion. For example, if Reddit was a bakery, would it be allowed to refuse to sell cakes to people with MAGA hats? The Supreme Court on ruled in favor of a Colorado baker who had refused to create a wedding cake for a gay couple. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-111_j4el.pdf https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-111_j4el.pdf Why this does not apply to Reddit? If they don't wan't MAGA people, why can't they refuse? Social media is free to take political stance and limit discussion. If they allow free speech, it's just because their users demand it or they think its nice to allow it for any reason.
