(32,017 posts)In essence, I agree. Sooner or later, though, our big internet-tech companies are going to have to fall under the "common carrier" doctrine, and then they will be subject to judicial review as quasi-government agencies. No telling how long that will take.
Thanks for posting.

Had they been considered public in the government sense, then 1A would have applied. They'd have to allow all content. Being private, they can cull videos or content as they see fit.
