They already do this in many places.
The most common example would be common carrier laws. Those aren't particularly controversial.
Do you believe that common carrier laws are some huge infringement on company rights or something?
Do you believe that common carrier laws are "fascist"?
If not, then you must admit that your previous argument is pretty silly.
- ineedasername 6y agoI believe common carrier laws don't apply to these platforms. If they did, common carrier laws would still not prevent these platforms from removing users that were inciting illegal acts. In particular though, common carrier laws tend to apply to services that have been given a special privilege to have for their own use some type of public resource or special privilege. Like broadcasting frequencies or the right-of-way granted to power companies and other utilities. That isn't the case for these platforms.
