Social media are specifically not publishers, so no they're not "just like" the NYT/Fox.
They don't create content as an organization and only facilitate communication, which is exactly why section 230 is being contested.
- snowwrestler 6y agoSection 230 applies equally to any interactive computer service, whether it is operated by Twitter, Facebook, NY Times, Fox, Ycombinator, or even you or me. The First Amendment applies to everyone in the U.S.
- manigandham 6y agoYes, and since social networks are only third-party content, they should not be interfering with it otherwise they are exercising editorial control and are now first-party content.
