Social networks that do this should lose any safe harbor provisions. Government are so fucking far behind with basic common sense.
Absolutely. You cannot claim safe harbor while banning stuff like this.
i hate banning anyone as much as the next anarcho-dingus but afaik there's no law against banning whoever you want and i'm not sure there should be one. i don't know what the answer is, if it isn't public control of all social media.
maybe some public funded internet services such as defederated twitter and reddit alternatives? completely open and paid for with taxes, in direct competition with their for-profit contemporaries.
Like the BBC mastadon instance social.bbc
