No service involves “nothing but data.” This has nothing to do with freedom of speech, it’s governing the rules of business transactions between two entities across borders. Stop throwing out spurious terms to try and cloud the debate.

Neither of those are just data. One provides information about topics of interest that you can edit, one provides a forum through you can interact with other people.

Which is literally just data.

> a forum through you can interact with other people

Which is just a means of exchanging data.

What is missing in both cases is any transportation of people or material across the border.
