They aren't magazines or TV, where everything is under editorial control.
Not to mention, that magazines and TV outlets are also typically not liable when information in ads or third parties(such as pundits) is litigated against.
- wakawaka28 2y agoSocial media using tens of thousands of moderators and AI to enforce extralegal policies about content sure sounds like editorial control to me. They an easily be viewed as employing content producers. Discriminating against content they don't like and promoting content that they do like (especially against user and producer preferences) is an act of editorializing. It doesn't matter to me how they justify that to themselves. Social media should be a utility, not a social engineering psyop working for government and industry "elites"...
