TX social media censorship bill

[Angrboda]

If a baker has the privilege of following his conscience, so do the companies of facebook, twitter, et al.  You thinking it would be good if we treated them as a public square does not change them into a public square.  Taking the right to run their platform as they choose out of the hands of their shareholders is simply government theft.  But I'm not surprised that you would advocate abrogating people's rights so that false claims of censorship from the right can be pacified.  That's the same blighted logic as saying that we should audit elections because a bunch of right-wingers have been sold the bill of goods that the election was stolen.  Their ignorance and belief in false claims justifies nothing.

The answer used to be if you don't like it, go to another platform. People tried that, and some of these platforms were no longer allowed to host their websites, people started getting banned from getting donations, banks won't deal with them anymore, etc. They tried it your way, and they were squashed. This is why social media is the new town square and they have a massive influence over society and elections. It is simply election interference on every level. Russia has nothing on Google. Google is God.

The recent history is replete with counter-examples such as parler and Frank. You're telling falsehoods. And even if you weren't, that's not the bar for anti-trust action.
