    I live in a highly conservative area where books containing gay content are banned so you should check your “only evil liberals censor anything” ideas.

    Bias does not make a platform a publisher, publishing does.

    I’m glad you acknowledge that using governmental force isn’t the answer though — many of your conservative friends don’t however.

    That’s what conservatives want, they just want government that enforces their ideas. We can see this in just about every area they say they want small government.

    I do not know what would be the future of this bill. I hope they open doors to sue Google and Facebook for this or monopoly or anything. In my opinion Conservatives should support any suit against Google, Facebook, and Twitter. Any hurdle for the Enemy is a bonus for their Free--speech competitors like Gab, Minds, Bitchute.

    Hopefully, Free Speech online will survive in one form or another.

    An important lesson which should be learned by American People is that Leftists want to take away their most fundamental Freedom.

    Sadly even many Conservatives do not understand what is at stake. Free Speech in USA may effectively end. That would mean an end of Democracy and beginning of Totalitarianism.

    Now, there are still Free Speech Platforms online. If Leftists force them off the Internet, then First Amendment would be a useless formality.
