The other way that the government tries to do skirt the First Amendment is by having hearings where the Congresspeople/Senators publicly berate and threaten the CEOs of social media companies over content that is protected under the First Amendment
- hellojesus 3y agoThe CEOs need to simply inform Congress of 1A. For the life of me, I have no idea why a congressional hearing is threatening to them.
- infogulch 3y agoYou're sitting in the United States Capitol Building for hours, being grilled by the representatives from the most powerful country on earth, by people who could decide on a whim to make your job as CEO a living hell by passing laws that unfavorably regulate your industry... And you're saying you could just shrug that off? Excuse my incredulity.
- hellojesus 3y agoYes. I fully believe that I would shrug it off in a similar position. What the CEOs fail to realize is that it is their chance to expose the congressional members as unfit for duty. It's their chance to ruin their reelection efforts. It's their chance to hold the government accountable.
