I'm not seeing contradictory statements?
- The legislation compels providers to host speech that violates their standards—speech they otherwise would not host
- and forbids providers from speaking as they otherwise would
These aren't contradictory. If a site does want to host a politician's speech then they can?
- Dracophoenix 5y agoAnd if a site doesn't? The issue is one of compelled association. The First Amendment isn't just about choosing to be involved with who you want but also choosing not to be involved with who you don't want. This law abridges the rights of Facebook et al and potentially every website on the Internet to disassociate themselves from certain individuals.
- tenebrisalietum 5y agoI know. I agree. I didn't disagree with the original statement.
