Should Facebook not be allowed to have its own terms of service?

Like I said. They can. But, if their position is that they can and will police up content on their site, then congress needs to remove their protection.

They gotta pick one and trust me, they WILL FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL to prevent that.

Is TD a platform or a publisher?

I can't speak intelligently to TD's status legally in terms of what I post.

If TD can be sued for what I post, then, TD should quite obviously have every right to decide what it allows to get posted.

HOWEVER, if legally speaking, TD CANNOT be sued for what I post, then TD should probably be careful about purely ideological moderation.

For the purposes of this discussion, you shouldn't focus on what Facebook or Twitter block. You should look at what they CONTINUE to allow that they almost certainly would have to police up in a non-immune environment.

Interestingly, I think their argument FOR immunity is correct. I think them having to ACTUALLY police up their shite is likely a beyond monumental task and an unreasonable one at that.

Alas, it's not my fault they seem intent on steering their dicks under their feet.
