There is another option.
Just regulate it, like we regulate other communication networks.
The phone company can't ban people for political speech from it's phone lines, and the government doesn't run into 1st amendment issues with that.
Let's change the law, so that our existing laws, are expanded to apply to social media companies.
- Covzire 4y agoNobody ever gives up power willingly, especially not the tyrants. It's going to be 2023 or 2025 before anything like that happens, unless the supreme court hears a surprisingly prescient case but that's unlikely before 2025 anyway.
- stale2002 4y ago> It's going to be 2023 or 2025 before anything like that happens, Not necessarily. There is already a texas social media law, that does part of what the anti-censorship crowd wants. The appeals court upheld the law, and the supreme court has not struck it down yet. That law, in 1 state alone, could have a huge effect on social media pretty soon, already.
