This sounds like a great idea but I can't support it.
It goes against the free-market capitalism idea. This forces companies to remain politically neutral but they are businesses and should not have to be politically neutral if they don't want to be.
He touches on a topic known as "Market Entry Cost" for the little guys. But as we know, a tech company can take off from nothing to a giant in a few short years. We don't need the government interfering with letting the little guys grow by forcing expensive regulation on large tech companies.
This sounds no different than the overly bloated GDPR law in the EU. We need less of these regulations, not more.
GOP Sen. Josh Hawley takes aim at Big Tech's legal protection with new bill
"Hawley, however, says that the Communications Decency Act was passed when the Internet was still in its infancy, whereas big tech firms are now among the world’s most powerful companies. His legislation, the Ending Support for Internet Censorship Act, would remove the protection that big tech receives under Section 230 unless the firms submit to an external audit that proves their algorithms and content moderation are politically neutral." -snip
^From the party of "smaller government and we need less regulations!". Lolz, Rightist.

How is that possible, won't the free market sort it out? With innovators and such making new platforms. FFS, you just recently made a thread about Jordan Peterson launching a new platform to combat censorship. Lolz.

I did make a thread about that, but I never said I felt it would succeed lol.
Yes or no are you okay with mega corporations controlling the new public square? Or do you disagree with the fact it is becoming the new public square?

That's the thing though, it's not actually a "public space". It's a "space" owned by these corporations and they have a right to decide what happens within there.

Absolutely asinine logic. Of course not all citizens will have equal access to what he says, nor should the gov't play any role in trying to make it so.
The law disagrees. That's faulty logic, while someone without internet access may not have equal access to a President's words, they should be allowed the opportunity without being blocked.
