Always fun when Republican lawmakers threaten private companies because they hurt their feelings. Welcome to the free market, dillweed!

Lol....Free markets don't censor. So, which is it?

A private company can censor in a free market. It’s their company, their rules.

publisher versus platform. they lose certain legal protections if they choose to be a publisher instead of a neutral platform.

And what social media companies are has been debated for years. In the meantime, there are other platforms for conservative snowflakes to spread their fake news.

there's no debate. if they censor content, they are not a platform and they are liable for what they host. they have just admitted they censored content. it's time for lawyers to sue twitter for everything they've got. they've made a huge mistake.

They’ve been censoring harmful content for years. Tweets that threaten harm to the president for example are censored. Are you saying that they can’t do that?

there are legal requirements they have to follow. threats are one thing, removing political news during an election is something completely different.
