Social media should be considered publications. A company can not say they have an open platform and call Themselves immune to libel or censorship if they’re going to editorialize and punish views you disagree with. Section 230 needs to destroyed.
In other news, after a certain threshold, when someone lies on TV, there is an FCC mandate that the broadcaster adds a disclaimer saying the person is spreading false information. There was a lawsuit over this, because stations were broadcasting Trump speeches without adding the disclaimer, and the executive branch isn’t enforcing the rule.
