Well, technically there is a difference between a "company" and a "corporation." A company can be privately owned. A corporation on the other hand, is not privately owned. A corporation is owned by the shareholders, thus not private.
Here's an example: There was a case a good many years ago in which a lawsuit was brought against a privately owned club for not allowing women. The plaintiffs lost because it was "privately owned" and as such wasn't open to the general public, so it had the right to say who could or could not come in. Over time, that club did change its policy, but it had nothing to do with the case they defended.
In the case of the Tech giants, they are corporations and thus, owned by those who purchased shares in their stocks, thus not private. Just because you own shares in a corporation's stocks, doesn't mean you are in agreement with that corporations policies. If you own enough shares in a corporation's stocks, you do hold sway on corporate policies (just being the major shareholder doesn't ensure that yours is the only opinion that matters). If enough individuals who own shares band together and protest, the major shareholder (generally the CEO, rather than the president) can be voted off the Board of Directors.
The lawsuit against the Tech giants may go nowhere, but some of that is how many in the lawsuit may be shareholders that believe in free speech and don't like what their own corporation s doing.
 
The big idiot is suing facebook and Twitter etc. Says it a restriction of his free speech or some other crap.
He must have forgotten they are privately owned. I wish him good luck.
The arbiters of speech have abused section 230 protections...all sane folks know this. So basically filthy leftists do not.
Look it up.

Conservatives suddenly want a return of the Fairness Doctrine but applied only to big tech companies.
Wrong...Judging from your ignorant comment, you don't even know what the fairness doctrine is.

What's wanted is corporations prohibited from doing on behalf of gubmint, what they themselves are prohibited from doing.

Technically, there are privately held corporations. For purposes of law, a corporation is defined as an "artificial person".



corporation​

n. an organization formed with state governmental approval to act as an artificial person to carry on business (or other activities), which can sue or be sued, and (unless it is non-profit) can issue shares of stock to raise funds with which to start a business or increase its capital.

...
Any real person or group of people can form a LLC (Limited Liability Company)

LLC legal definition of LLC

LLC
The limited liability company (LLC) is a hybrid legal entity that has both the characteristics of a corporation and of a partnership. An LLC provides its owners with corporate-like protection against personal liability. It is, however, usually treated as a noncorporate business organization for tax purposes.

Legally speaking, a "person" is artificial....Corporations, trusts, and gubmints themselves are "persons"....Any document bearing your name in ALL CAPS is a legal fiction "person".

An "individual" is a free human being.
 
I wish Trump luck! He is on the right side about this issue!:thup:
Trump is using this lawsuit to raise money. The suit will go nowhere. If not dismissed by the courts, Trumps lawyers will withdraw from the lawsuit before it goes to discovery.
Positively stupid statement.

Trump didn't hire the tobacco lawsuit plaintiff lawyers to raise money....They're big time expensive.

They can do what they want. Sorry but we aren't going to let you Republicans have Big Government running everything.

Wrong. Look it up for yourself.

I've studied this topic extensively, Gomer Pyle.

You're out of your league, boy.

Look at what you just said. Trump hires some very expensive lawyers, and then asks for the money to pay for them.

People wouldn't send him money if he hired cheap lawyers that he could easily pay for himself.
