Ah…Twitter. Can control anything it publishes, profit from anything it wants — and not be held responsible…
Such is a unanimous ruling by the Federal Election Commission, which found Twitter violated no law by censoring The Post’s factual report about the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Stating that, in its view, “Twitter is likely a press entity,” the FEC said that the social media network’s “activities fall within our press exemption.” That’s going to be news to Twitter and Facebook, which enjoy the benefits of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act…[which]…states that “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information…”
In other words: When The New York Post publishes something, we can be sued for libel. We endeavor to fact-check, edit…and if we fail to do so…we are held responsible.
But Twitter, thanks to Section 230, can…say: Not our problem!…
Facebook or Twitter can censor, promote or ban anything it wants…But if it publishes something false or defamatory…it can’t be held responsible…
By declaring Twitter a publisher, the FEC has…pointed out the inherent contradiction of these regulations. Lawmakers…should repeal Section 230 and force social media companies to follow the same rules as other publishers…
Do you think social media should be held responsible for the content it publishes? Share in the comments below!

Twitter, FB, ick. These tech giants are all satan’s proxies. I cannot believe how nasty their CEOs are, how foolish, and how cavalier they are with their own immortal souls.
