Big Tech does have the right to censor anything on what they control because they are private companies. But the second they censor with a political bias they are "Publishers" and not "Platforms" and can be sued for libel for anything a user posts. Anything.

I disagree. They have become essential public forums and public utilities in some cases and should be legally regarded as such. ISPs, Telecoms, Twitter, Google/Apple App Store etc.
Yeah been hearing that for years. Republicans are very slow on tech issues which is why we're in this situation in the first place. They seem to have no clue how powerful big tech is and that they essentially have control over modern public speech. Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Good luck finding a Republican to support taking action on any of our ideas. All they want to say is "let the market solve the problem".
