They should have to choose between neutral publishing and liability on their networks. If they want to censor then section 230 of the communications decency act should be repealed and let them take ownership of their decisions.

As it stands now they get zero liability for speech they can clearly police. I see hate groups in Facebook that Facebook doesn't close if reported. Let them own it

Right, I get that that’s a position you can take, I just don’t see why.
