If they were treated as a publisher, these sites could then be held civilly, and in some cases criminally, liable for the content they allow. They could also be subject to libel and defamation suits, which they are currently exempted from due to not being a publisher. 2/2

The Constitution does not. The legal code does.

Yeah i did, and it does not exists, you lied. Definition of "platform" does not exists, If you right wingers do not agree with Youtube, then push off. make your own streaming service and remain there.

This has nothing to do with the Constitution other than there was a section of an act established to protect First Amendment rights from the federal government. Read Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230

Sweats @sweats_actualReplying to @teg_jamshed @RedBloodedGuy and 2 othersNothing says they can't, but once you start picking and choosing which content to allow you cease to be a platform and begin to be a publisher. Right now many social media sites argue they are platforms, not publishers, and are exempt from certain regulations. 1/22 replies 0 retweets 1 like
Indeed, YT & Twitter can delete content ban accounts as they deem fit, they are not required to provide services to anyone they wish not to be associated with. thats the bottom line These screams need to stop, "conservatives" can start their own 'no rules' tumptube & trumptter
