The Supreme Court & Social Media Censorship Part 2

The Supreme Court is currently deciding if government officials coercing social media platforms into censoring protected speech violates the First Amendment.
FIRE thinks it does-and has asked SCOTUS to stop this censorship by proxy.
Former ACLU President and FIRE Senior Fellow Nadine Strossen explains.
The Supreme Court is currently deciding the Murthy v. Missouri, NetChoice, LLC v. Paxton, and Moody v. NetChoice cases.

The trouble is Social Media Companies are acting more like publishers rather than platforms. When they start taking control of what is said on the platform, they should be treated similarly to News Papers. I know that the law isn't such.

No! That is the law. Section 230 protects these Social media platforms as the public square, as long as they do not make decisions on who or what can post or be posted.

@@bradleymcdaniel7915 DMCA section 230 let's them make their own rules about content. The way they are abusing it makes them basically publishers.

We regulate everything else and the idea that these private companies have their own rights are trampling the rights of others
