The Constitution says so. The Constitution grants them freedom of speech.They don't. Who says they can't pay for their unfair actions? NOBODY!!!Who says they have to be fair?What do you call the person at the news paper who decides not to publish an article?Editing can include removing material from a piece, but deciding not to publish isn’t editing and the idea that it could be is beyond ridiculous.
And the people deciding not to publish it would be.......editors?If I write a book and Simon and Schuster decides not to publish it, they sure as hell haven’t edited it. They are not changing or altering the text at all. Period. They’re just not dealing with it.
Fine. They are not editing (fucking bullshit but whatever). They can be held liable for "refusing to publish" if they do so in a way that is unfair or non-transparent.
We can sing and dance all day long about social media's right to free speech, but they are NOT being denied the right. They are simply being held civilly liable for unfair or non-transparent "bad faith" moderating.
