This is a valid argument when it comes to things like recommendations but there are some simple functions of platforms that in no way constitute the platforms speech:
- When two people privately chat with each other, this is not the chat platforms speech, anymore then a phone call is the phone company's speech, it is something that should fall under common carrier laws, just like phone companies.
- When someone explicitly decides to follow someone else and that person posts something, then relaying that post is not the platforms speech, anymore then delivering a magazine to a subscriber is the postal services speech.
- zeckalpha 3y agoThat analogy falls down because there is speech you aren't allowed to convey via the telephone or postal service.
