Free press is surprisingly supportive of an idea of a private corporations policing and setting standards of content and political discussions.
I hate how discussions look online about politics, but I worry that instead of pushing for accountability of public figures, through democratic tools and institutions, articles like that focus on trying to get a private police up and going.
Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc censoring more and more content from public figures won’t change the fact that USA have a racist president and that tons of people support him.
And while I think it’s a valid question how much of their racist and discriminatory content they should be allowed to say before they’re thrown out of office, it shouldn’t be decided by Silicon Valley.
