Platforms created by major tech companies — Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. — are routinely used to incite violence, spread misinformation, and coordinate harassment. Occasionally, one platform or another acknowledges it has a problem and announces a new policy to crack down on the misconduct. The policy, however, is weak and poorly enforced. Things get worse. And the cycle continues.
Very interesting article. Who would have guessed that Judge Thomas would have issued this opinion, which would put limits on the unrestricted ability of media to avoid responsibility for posts which clearly should be deleted.
Thank you, Judd. I understand all of this. For me, the problem is ascribing citizen's constitutional rights TO CORPORATIONS. If we re-read your article from the perspective of a system which only gives first amendment rights to individual human beings, and denying the absurd notion that"money is speech", many of our democratic stresses would be instantly solved.
Not the surprise I was expecting! A nice way to start my Wednesday!

If Justice Clarence Thomas is right about an issue, it's probably by accident.
