Their protection isn’t the same, and their requirements aren’t the same.
ATT and Verizon are protected from liability due to their status as a common carrier. That has obligations to carry communication for everyone.
Social media has protections from the CDA which has no obligations.
They’re regulated by completely different frameworks and although some of their protections are the same, many aren’t and their obligations are totally different.
Not true.
If you follow the chain of authorization of both, it comes down to the same 1st amendment.
Neither any arbitrarily censor political views, content, etc.
That should be obvious.
Social media is exacty intended to preplace the original political sandwich boards that used to be used instead.
Social media is exactly what the 1st amendment was aimed at, even though it did not yet even exist.
