if twitter stops you from posting because they dont like your views...They have a terms of services that every user agrees to when they sign up. They can enforce whatever they wantNewspapers edit and decide what is published so yes they are responsible. Social media does not edit and review everything that is published. They have algorithms that flag, copywrited, vulgar, or dangerous material so there are some filters in place but it is a very different medium than a newspaper or magazine
Just because Surveillance Media fails in its review responsibility, doesn't justify that failure. There is plenty of empirical evidence of deletions, suspensions and banishments to show that when they do care, they take action. And the fact that they only do this when they care demonstrates that they are acting in an editorial capacity. Hence, they are content providers and publishers.
And the way they enforce makes them content providers/media companies.
Thanks for playing!
Wrong YET AGAIN. If Marvin Finstervlep posts something to Tweeter, that's Marvin providing the content --- not Tweeter.
Just as your post that I just quoted exists because YOU provided the content. Or are you going to tell us that USMB created that post and put your name on it?
thry still an open platform?
We haven't been discussing "open platforms". We've been clarifying who the provider is.
