The postal service is a governmental entity, you do see the difference between it and Twitter, a private company, don't you?

- bjornsing 4y agoWell let’s say UPS then. When I send a document through UPS, should they take some responsibility for the truthfulness of its contents…? That’s just a very weird way to organize society…
- gilbetron 4y agoTwo things: 1. If a law was passed that said twitter cannot moderate user content, Twitter would be ecstatic. It is a tremendous cost to them to do so, and not having to do so would largely be a win in their books (they'd still probably have to generate tools to allows users to moderate their own content, so not a total win) 2. If UPS shipped your products for free, but there were ads on the boxes, and they examined the contents to make sure there wasn't any content that they didn't want to ship, I'm guessing it would be a pretty popular service!
