Do you think Dinesh is being silly? I'm confused. I could easily imagine telecoms companies banning customers within a few years for the content of their texts.

The libertarian galaxy brain take is that it wasn't even justifiable to apply the common carrier standard to AT&T. AT&T literally invented the telephone and built the grid, the equivalent of if YouTube had also invented the Internet and laid the cable for it.

"Carrier" means transports information here. AT&T does that. Youtube does not.

A knowledgeable person could probably list several examples where that distinction isn't so clear. There have been cases of private companies that own blocks of land/malls being forced to follow the first amndmnt. Social media is the basic infrastructure of political debate today

Editorial decisions? That would mean that they are a publisher and not an open platform and are thus legally responsible for the legal repercussions of anything and everything appearing on their website.
