ACLU....that my right wing friends despise

No they can't and as an attorney, you know full well they can't do as they please especially if they engage in conspiracy to violate anti-trust laws.

But Blackman's obviously a Democrat for the long haul.

The reason must be because he knows what side his bread is buttered on. The Democratic Party is a friend of the attorneys, in particular the plaintiff's bar. This is also why all the people I know who work in oil and gas are Republicans. It's why I'm a Libertarian, at least until Trump disappears from the scene. It's because we all view the other party as an existential threat. It wants to put us out of business and take everything we've got.

Btw, I don't mean to say above that Democrats are illiterate, but rather lawyers are literate.

Yet you did.

Private corporations. They can do as they please. That’s a Republican value. Ranks up there with underpaying and failing to provide benefits. Originally Posted by 1blackman1

Unless, of course, we treat the social media companies as a public utility. They cannot simultaneously declare that they are not a publisher for liability purposes and then act like a publisher when it suits their whim.

I think that is the direction we need to head.

Make them responsible for all posts on their websites or none. See how fast they censor both sides or take a completely hands-off policy.
