That's not how this works.  You are also free to create any form of media and censor whatever content you wish.  You do NOT want .gov to start to decide these things for you.  It won't end up how you think it will or want it to.

So many so called conservatives enjoy falling on their swords, meanwhile the Left's agenda in the culture war has been aided by corporations perhaps more than any other vehicle.  At some point, corporations, the government...a distinction without a difference in this context.

No, not literally this.   This is just like the bakery issue; what we demand is consistency, and when they want to apply rules only in their favor we go tit-for-tat until they knock it the fuck off.

All of these companies have turned a blind eye to things for years, claiming protections intended for public platforms - crime, fraud, arms trafficking, slavery, terrorism.   "Oh, you can't expect us to police all of that proactively, we don't exercise editorial control!"

They've always been on shaky ground with haphazardly enforcing their own rules in a way that agrees with their political bent, but this is a step too far.   You can't have "we're not responsible" while targeting people for political de-platforming, bans, shadow bans, suspensions, etc.

They want it to be their platform, their rules?   Fine.  We'll throw their sorry asses in prison for willingly refusing to take down threats, criminal solicitations, and foreign combatant propaganda.    It's one or the other.  You cannot have both in a nation of laws.

Telling property owners what they can do with their stuff is an infringement on property rights.

Property rights are for adjudicating disputes inside one camp. They're not relevant in war, and war is not a single martial act conducted with arms alone. It's the period where multiple camps arise and envision a new range of means.

The governments of new camps contend across varied terrain, some of which is the body of prewar organizations.

Banning weaponizing old government is like banning JHPs and DPICM - dumb.

Whatever the politicians we own or they own say it is. The first casualty of war is truth.

At the policy level there are good arguments for both sides, though social platforms aren't quite physical monopolies. I think it's better to hope new platforms (e.g. Mastodon vs Twitter or the Myspace/Facebook/Snaps&Insta timeline) rise to naturally outcompete the old.

But the difference between Trump & the dissident right vs the NRO neocon clan is the recognition that power precedes policy. If the IC-subsidized-Facebook narrative is the justification our more fastidious comrades need to tell themselves to get out of bed and win, that's what we should say.

Social media is a form of information distribution of a scale that is unprecedented.  It is faster and gather reaching than television and radio, both of which are already regulated.  Microsoft was broken up for few and less egregious violations than facebook, twitter and other social media platforms.  These private companies have just as much control as big oil, railroad barons, and other resources of the past.  The internet is a resource, and now facebook has created a virtual resource of social media that is just as much a part of life as drake bling water wether we like it or not.  I think facebook and social media is orwellian in its potential influence.

I’m not sure what needs to be done.  Certainly facebook, twitter than all social media, should be legally forced into transparency when they censor viewpoints and speech.  That is the minimum first step that should be taken.  If government and business are going to continue to use social media as a primary communication tool, then these websites should be regulated like TV, radio, telephone and the like.

+1 these corporations have been building a weapon against conservative values for the longest time. These companies are absolutely jam packed from top to bottom of near-Marxists using a system they despise to eat this country from the inside out.

When we used radio we let them do their thing
when we used print media we let them do their thing
when we used early tv broadcasting we let them do their thing

Now the age of digital communication and media along with social media?

They control the narrative they control the systems and when we had just a small slice of that pie (just enough to get DJT elected) they pulled the rug right out from under us.
