Isn’t social media working as intended? A platform to air one’s views is exactly its purpose. Congress just can’t take immunity from one company and leave it place for others. It would need to repeal the law in its entirety. Say good bye to forums like this and Social media.why do they have to act fairly?
They don't. The govt also does not have to give them special protection from consequences from how they run their business.
I agree if they repeal social media immunity let’s also repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act that gives gun dealers and manufactures immunity from civil suits. Deal? What is the difference ?
Nope. That law is because you assholes want to attempt an end run around the constitution by putting all firearm manufacturers out of business.
and gun owners can still be sued if their product fails due to negligence in the manufacturing process, just like any other manufacturer. What is prevented is suing them for the actions of others when their product works as intended.
It would be like suing Ford if a drunk driver used an Explorer to kill 30 people by driving into a crowd, even if the car functioned properly.
The OP says government should not give businesses special protections. The question is he a hypocrite or does he apply this standard to all businesses.
I am saying that Twitter doesn't deserve 230 protection anymore, but gun manufacturers shouldn't be sued if their product works as intended. Two different issues, but you attempt to link them in a gotcha attempt.
Sorry, doesn't fly.
