The FTC notified companies like Google, Meta, and Apple that they must not apply the Digital Services Act, which regulates digital platforms, if it jeopardizes the freedom of Americans.
Online platforms have become central to public debate, and the pervasive online censorship in recent years has outraged the American people. Not only have Americans been censored and banned from platforms for expressing opinions and beliefs not shared by a small Silicon Valley elite, but the previous administration actively worked to encourage such censorship.
LOL, a lot of utter bullshit piped straight from Bullshit Mountain there, but the funny thing is, the same “small Silicon Valley elite” helped propagate epic amounts of right wing bullshit and their algorithms throw people down a rabbit hole of white supremacy and conspiracy theories and they did next to nothing to counter any of that.
In addition, that same elite helped to fund Taco.
Lastly, I haven’t seen one conservative really deplatformed or “censored” to any extent that actually mattered…but these people will have their panties in a bunch over this same perceived slight just like they are about vaccine and mask mandates, because conservatives are whiny-ass babies.
The funny thing is that the DSA explicitly protects citizens’ free speech on internet platforms. You know, the whole thing that was conservatives’ #1 issue when it came to digital policy?
I think the average con has little idea of what they actually want.
At one point, the con base were trained to parrot a bunch of stuff about Section 230 because “freedom” and they think they are being silenced and they believe that cons should have the right to not only be able to spew anything on private platforms, but that their content should be prioritized to be blasted into others’ faces even if no one wants to see that content…
So I haven’t tracked their fee fees on DSA, but I wonder if it is just as whiny and contradictory as their feelings about Section 230…I imagine they think things should be gamed so that cons get to say whatever they want and liberals have to read it.

FFS.
