We're trying to bypass the law because nobody can determine exactly what is misleading/incorrect information without taking in every bit of nuance and context concerning a tweet/social post, much less some law. If you solve that by having some oversight/review board make the rules and review violations you just get to the problem of government workers determining the rules and what general information is false, which nobody in the US public would trust after $x decades.
If you're paying for the servers that run the conduit, the least you should be able to do is decide who can add to it and what you allow through it.

- judge2020 5y agoLiable for what? They already are liable if they enable things like CP if they don't proactively scan and remove it, and other crimes like distribution or sale of illegal substances is something they have to work closely with police on if they don't want to be held for aiding & abetting such crimes. They just aren't going to be the defendant if someone wants to bring a libel suit that originates from a false statement in a tweet, because Twitter isn't omnipotent and can't verify everything someone states to be true.
