It could be argued that, via Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, Facebook gained the benefits of editorial control with no corresponding liabilities for not exercising it. Free speech strings could be attached to that benefit. See also: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratton_Oakmont,_Inc._v._Prodigy_Services_Co ….

Yes, but, as a private company, they're gaining a benefit from the government. That benefit allows them to selectively censor. Let's rollback Section 230 protections, and then I have no problem with the actions they take on their platform.

right, this isn’t an argument that fb is in violation of the law. it’s an argument for removing unfair protections from the law that fb currently receives.
