OK its not FB or Shitter causing the issue.

Its the USERS/Account holders who are.

And the case is not point-on with either.

So you local gov'ts will ignore the court's decision if it does not go (((their))) way.

If a governmental agency chooses a platform that they know limits your speech, is it the platform's problem or the government agency's ?

Just remove their 230 protections so people can sue the fuck out of them for libel, slander, and defamation. It would also open them up to all sorts of other lawsuits such as copyright infringement. Without their 230 protections people could upload a bunch of copyrighted material to the platforms and they would be responsible. The RIAA and MPAA members would have some very large targets to go after.

Honestly that is the best solution. They should have the option of (a) keeping 230 protection in whch case they should only be allowed to remove content if it is determed to be illegal in the US or (b) having complete responsibility for everything on their site. In the meantime they should be sued by private people and by AGs for falsely representing their services regarding freedom of users to post their content and thereby effectively stealing everyone’s data through fraud.
