The American public created the internet - paid for it. It should be a public utility, not a private playground for multinationals who did not build that.Monderegal » 26 Apr 2022, 9:59 am » wrote: ↑ I'm aware that there are cases where the government can act somewhat unlawfully. However, and this is to the best of my knowledge from author Alec Ross, the internet companies themselves decide what or what not the content they will allow or will ban from their platforms. At least that is what is true in the United States as common internet practice and custom.
Public companies can be helf to public policy.Monderegal » 26 Apr 2022, 9:59 am » wrote: ↑ Could the government intervene? Probably. Laws could be passed to regulate social media to allow free speech, ect. There would be questions of legality that would tie up the courts and some of those cases probably would reach the Supreme Court docket.
Internet speech legislation has not been tried on the federal level since the Communications Decency Act of 1996. The laws are old and the amount of lobbying in Washington by internet companies is fierce. These are just my observations. Free speech is an inherent right but the government can curtail rights sometimes.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
