Individuals have the freedom of speech, but the can also be sued for liable for the things they say. Twitter can't be sued, because they are "re-transmitting" information. That's why Elon was sued for his "pedo guy" tweet and not twitter. Am I missing something here?
It seems like it makes corporations more like people in that if they curate content [in some vaguely biased way] then they can be held liable for that act. Because by doing that they are exercising their freedom of speech.
I think an interesting question is what will become the threshold for acceptable curation. Is it just illegal content, ex. CP. It seems like this has the potential for more legislation defining speech.
