Rule 230 covers common carriers, moron. How many times are we going for a ride on this wheel of circular logic?Of course it was since they're covered by rule 230.The case was dismissed because of rule 230Of course they can sue. You yourself posted an article where they were sued.So then people can sue it. What are you arguing about?And yet, it's not a common carrier by the definition of a common carrier.If it's not a common carrier, then it isn't protected by rule 230, and it can be sued. You can't seem to make up your mind whether it is a common carrier, or not.No one cares what you want. The bottom line is Facebook is not a common carrier which even you unwittingly admitted when you posted a definition of a common carrier that includes thrre is a fee for such services.Currently they aren't regulated as such, but should be in my opinion, and appears to be the way things are headed...even the SCOTUS openly discussed it.Of course you did. You pointed out Facebook isn't a telecommunication service or a public utility.lord not....it’s why they cii op is be common carriersLOLwhy did you cut off my quote? I find you lost all cred when you did that.After YOU posted the definition of a common carrier, which includes...Of course they areLOLOLOLOLyou think AT&T can discriminate? Sorry...https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/chapter-5/subchapter-II/part-IWrong.For the same reason AT&T can not.Why not? It’s their website.They can't discriminate based on idelogy alone, nor should they be allowed to.
(a)Charges, services, etc.
It shall be unlawful for any common carrier to make any unjust or unreasonable discrimination in charges, practices, classifications, regulations, facilities, or services for or in connection with like communication service, directly or indirectly, by any means or device, or to make or give any undue or unreasonable preference or advantage to any particular person, class of persons, or locality, or to subject any particular person, class of persons, or locality to any undue or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage.
So you think Facebook is a common carrier, huh?![]()

What Is a Common Carrier? Definition, How They Work, and Examples
A common carrier is a private or public entity that transport goods or people. Unlike private carrier services, it is available to anyone willing to pay its fee.www.investopedia.com
A common carrier is defined by U.S. law as a private or public entity that transports goods or people from one place to another for a fee. The term is also used to describe telecommunications services and public utilities.

... I can only presume you refuse to answer my question about how much does it cost to post on Facebook because that caused you to realize your own post with that definition utterly destroyed your claim that Facebook is a common carrier.

Here is the remainder of the quote for those paying attention at home "The term is also used to describe telecommunications services and public utilities."
Facebook et al aren't considered them now under the law, the issue presented and being discussed is treating them like one
You even admit the part I cut off is irrelevant. But I suppose you had to whine about something after embarrassing yourself like that.
So now I see you whined about me cutting out irrelevancies as a diversion from you pointing out a requirement of a common carrier is paying them for their service whereas Facebook is free to members.
That's the point I was making.
That's why I asked you how much it costs to post on Facebook.
That's why you ignored that question.
Three times.
Because you can't bring yourself to admit Facebook isn't a common common carrier even though you yourself demonstrated they are not.
I'm enjoying watching you chase your own tail, so as many times as you want.
Still, by the definition of a common carrier, Facebook is not one.
