That's silly. The Constitution says "Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member."
For example, House Rule XVII ("DECORUM AND DEBATE") says "Remarks in debate (which may include references to the Senate or its Members) shall be confined to the question under debate, avoiding personality."
If Congress is the reference, then Facebook gets to define what "disorderly Behaviour" is, just like the House and Senate get to define for themselves what "disorderly Behavior" means.
If the House is the ideal for how to have debate, then Facebook debate must also avoid personality.
- linotype 2y agoFacebook can do whatever they want, I’m just not going to be on a platform where I see a bunch of misinformation or blatant racist content like X.
- eesmith 2y agoI agree they can do whatever they want (so long as it's legal). What's silly is comparing themselves to Congressional floor debates as if that's at all relevant.
