Are you suggesting it's the primary role of government to determine how people get their news via oversight?Their profiting off targetted ads has killed local news
Now you have people getting their news on FB and algorithms put them to mainly big right wing pages that game that shid and has brain washed so many people.
Removing the section 230 liability protections for profiting off targetted ads will help fix this problem

This article echoes how I reacted in the main thread when social media banned Trump. Though they were right in banning him, something is wrong that a “tech” platform has that much power to control speech the way it does. Especially when they incited Trump and his follower for years with the algorithms, along with the monopolistic issues.
Because they go together in this instance.The article is trash, she conflates antitrust concerns with speech concerns.
Who are you having this conversation with? No one said Trump shouldn’t have been banned.Cancel culture is pure trash and tech companies need to be closely regulated but nothing done to Trump crossed a line...
Trump was the one that crossed the line when he incited an insurrection on a lie that killed 5 people...
First off, there is a TOS agreement when he setup that account that he had to agree to, he repeatedly violated hat TOS agreement almost daily over the last 4 years...
Secondly, what he got banned for was the equivalent of yelling fire in a movie theatre and starting a stampede that killed 5 people...The 1st amendment does not protect against stupid shyt like that, you would be banned by every movie theatre in the country and thrown in prison if you were to do that...
which is why all these folks should actually invest that free YouTube money in their own platforms.Too many people on the "left" are cheering it on but what's to stop these same platforms from
removing someone on the left's chance to speak power to the people ?
There's a distinct possibility that this could happen.
