You are not Twitter or Facebook. Stop pretending these giant social behemoths are people, they are not.

Google deplatformed The Federalist, Press California, and Parler just recently, not a great example to use.

The problem is that people who have such opinions refuse to understand that they have made a category error and how broken their premises are.
A law that mandates that I or anyone must broadcast a politician's opinion - this is a textbook example of compelling speech.
> How would more regulation amplify speech I like? Speech I like is not allowed period, that's the problem.
That isn't at all true. Google any opinion you like and you will find many media outlets that are already amplifying it.
However, you see other media outlets that aren't amplifying opinions you like. You advocate this FL law that aims to force them to. This a tyrannical effort.
