Social Media should be publishers, or platforms -- pick one. No publishers under the guise of platforms enjoying the protections of platforms. There should be a big fat disclaimer upon logging into facebook, twitter, instagram, etc that what you see is curated, not buried in TOS
You have:
a consistency problem
a hypocrisy problem
a political bias problem
an arrogance problem
an authoritarian problem
an insularity problem
and a censorship problem
And all are *repeatedly* misportrayed as a single “clarity in communications” problem.

This matters because It's the window to the world for our youth, constantly exposed to the content of those 10% of users that generate 80% of content, using social media as their soapbox to start a movement. All without counterpoints thanks to bias. It's divisive and polarizing.

Eric, what say you re: first amendment rights of private platforms?
-
....with the caveat that it's one thing to endorse something and another to call it "illegal" etc.

Give them one piece of credit, they are not in complete denial of this and are attempting to address it. Sometimes that’s enough to make all the difference. We’ll have to wait and see.

They did not censor Trump's tax records, which were illegally obtained. This is the very reason they state they are censoring the NY post articles.

what is this "illegally obtained" I keep seeing referenced, last I checked they were obtained via the court.
