Parler and the Problem of Escaping Internet Censorship
My reply:
The Big Tech companies can always claim that they're private platforms that reserve the right to exclude anybody they want. The problem is that they've grown so big that they amount to public utilities. Pres. Trump and the Republicans can leave it that way and try to create their own segregated Internet with their own mass platforms, but that leaves the basic problem untouched, namely, that only the federal govt. can create and maintain a true public utility that preserves everybody's First Amendment Rights by requiring a federal court order to take down any content for violating a copyright or ban anybody from access after conviction of a crime, always with due process of law. They can do it by nationalizing the Big Tech companies and taking them over with troops and providing their own operators, or by building their own Internet from scratch. Every U.S. citizen will be automatically issued an account based on their SSN probably. The protection of free speech will be as strong as the govt. itself. Only if the leftists totally take it over including the Supreme Court to abolish the First Amendment can free speech be stopped. I hope these aren't famous last words.
