Experts See Legal Counteroffensive Against Big Tech Crackdown On Conservative Dissent
2021-01-27
[JustTheNews] Challenge possible on three fronts: antitrust action against collusion, revocation of Section 230 liability shields, and shareholder suits for breach of fiduciary duty.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Jan. 13 issued civil investigative demands (CIDs) to Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon Web Services, and Apple, asking the companies for their policies and practices regarding content moderation and, more specifically, for information related to Parler, a social media application popular among conservatives that was recently terminated or blocked by Google, Amazon, and Apple.

Parler had become a popular alternative to Twitter, particularly among conservatives and followers of former President Trump, whose own Twitter account was permanently suspended by the platform earlier this month for content purportedly violating its rules.

#2  By censoring the right they have by action declared themselves editors/publishers not a common carrier. They are subject to consequences for the content they allow published.

#1  The conservatives were the ones who protected Internet companies from taxation and liability by by gold digging liberals.
For that the big Internet companies stuck the conservatives in the eye with social media crack downs.
Now that Australia, European Union and others want to tax these big companies who will protect these big companies now?
