Problem with getting any law passed is lobbying. Good luck getting any politician to care unless they get enough contribution money to have lobbyists draft a bill and even more money to have all the corrupt fucks in our government vote to pass it.

Now how’s that gonna happen when these huge social media companies contribute to politicians so they don’t vote yes on anything limiting their power?

Maybe we need to set up a fund somehow to buy our way into not being censored. As sad as that sounds.

That’s how governments work. Sick and sad but true.

you can get around this by not passing a law and instead passing a regulation. regulation can be passed by the FCC and all it requires is Trump's signature..

Regulations have no teeth. They'd get a fine, and probably one they'd gladly pay. It might stop them from censoring some high profile people, but when it comes to you and me, they'd just go with the tried and true "muh algorithm."
