Private property for everyone except tech giants.

Laisswz faire, except this.


If they select their content, exhibiting clear partisan bias or double standards, then they're undisputably a publisher and not a platform anymore. This, in turn, means that they can and should lose all the special legal protections which come from the status as a platform.

Which means they would then have to regulate the content and you can be damn sure there won't be any Trump allowed on that bad boy.

The fuck would anyone allow Trump on their platform if they could be sued for what he says

Losing their status as a platform would present them with so much legal risk (from all sorts of directions, not just pertaining to politics) that their whole business model would fall apart.

It would force them to follow a strict free speech guideline, with only the content which is violating actual laws being bannable. It would force them to go back to where their platforms were in 2012 or so.

I bet I could go through Trumps Twitter and find a plethora of violations of the law right now. The dude would be banned before he could register an account

Posting falsehoods, trolling or hurting someone's feelings does not violate the law.

While you're not wrong telling his followers to liberate cities and then the same followers go out and commit crimes IS illegal
