Being kicked for violating the TOS is not censorship.Actually it is that easy. You and the other conservative types are just searching for justification.They are private business providing a service, so unless you're ready to start baking gay wedding cakes you don't have a leg to stand on there. They do not produce the content only the medium. You might as well say you are going to sue the company that produces the paper magazines are printed on.The only reason this is even being talked about is these outlets are generally not tRump fans. Pro-business conservatives would have fits at the very thought.
No...they are actively censoring political opinion which goes against their protected status....as it was explained by the guy who runs the Dailywire.....they either are like the phone company, and they don't edit content, or they are publishers who edit content and then become responsible for that content......the phone company can't be sued for what you say on their lines.....but they can't edit what you say either.....Facebook, Google, and the other Tech companies want to edit the content...and if so, that makes them publishers liable to be sued for what they produce on their sites....
And also, my former point stands: if they were pro tRump you conservatives wouldn't even be talking about this.
Nope.....not that easy..... if they are editing content, they are no different from publishers of books, t.v. or magazines...therefore they are exposed to libel laws in everything they post......
If they want to avoid Libel laws, they have to be like the phone company, simply a format for communication with no responsibility for content.... and no power to edit that content....
No....we are being censored, and if the big techs are going to edit content, they need to be sued when that content is libel.....
