What they soon will find is that censorship online is unconstitutional and actually illegal.

Censorship online is terrible. But it’s not illegal unfortunately. It’s the bread and butter of a lot of companies
I’m not saying it’s illegal.. but potentially illegal. There’s a grey area where censorship, or denying/degrading a users’ access based on content can be considered “bullying” by tech firms, harmful to users and anti-competitive.
On decentralized platforms I agree. On centralized platforms, it’s their bread and butter
I’m referring to centralized. There’s legislation currently being looked about this very topic by the FCC.
I doubt google, meta, X (and others who live on censorship) will accept this without a fight, just because the fcc is looking into it
There is a difference between censorship and giving my attention to. It’s a fine line.
Intent matters but try to guess what mine are. I can’t even tell what’s going on in ny own mind.
