> If FB, Twitter, et al banned a famous person allegedly because they are a Republican, does this law also prevent the same platform from banning the same user for their calls for violence?

Let the judge decide... A company of that size should be stripped of that power

In theory I agree that almost all of this would be solved if the courts could work at the speed of social media. That’s a pipe dream though. There aren’t enough people with law degrees to throw at the problem, and we couldn’t afford it even if we did throw the problem at the courts.
