Big Tech most likely won't face censorship issues.

It'll eventually face Antitrust issues.

Why though? It's so stupid. Its insanely stupid to think that tech needs some sort of regulation, especially for the reasons given so far.

"Muh data I give em for free is muh data"

So you want to pay to use the service?

"nuh, i want them to pay meh for muh data when uh use it"

So you want, free services, like twitter & Facebook, but you want them to be owned by the goverment because you dont like people making money off the data they gather while you use their products for free?

"Yuuuuuh thats whut I wunnnt behcus muh dayta is mine!"

You are confused as to how Big Tech as been able to grow in power. Big Tech has grown in power due the auspices of the Fed Govt's regulation.

Big Tech is already currently regulated. Section 230 provides organizations with immunity from liability from comments of users such as yourself.

The Govt can simply remove Section 230. Twitter would not last long.

That'd be option 1.

There are a handful of other things the Govt could do regarding Antitrust as well that I can bring up if you'd like.

At the end of the day, its just about Power. When Big Tech gets too powerful expect it to be broken up into pieces via Antitrust. Apple is in the cross hairs as well even though that has less to do with Section 230 for them.

See historical examples of the Bells in telecommunications.

We are reliving through the 1880-1910 period. If you don’t think Amazon, Facebook and Twitter are monopolies/trusts you’re ignorant.

amazon =/= facebook/twitter

facebook twitter is hardly even = to news.

It's more like facebook twitter = p99 forums

Amazon is a digital retailer.

It is just stupid to think (categorically STUPID) that facebook, or twitter owns some sort of monopoly on something.

You may as well be upset and think the goverment should force FOX News let me do a report on their TV station, on the economy, or penguins, or whatever the f I feel like talking about, whenever I feel like talking about it.
