        He’s already investigated himself and found that Xitter is a bastion of freedom. Same goes for Truth Social.

          So when are bakers going to be forced to bake cakes for gay couples?

          Oh, right, hypocrites. Naturally.

              Reveling in their hypocrisy won't save anything.

              They don't care that you think and I see them as hypocrites.

                      I know the point of this is probably just intimidation but 35 companies? Are there 35 social networks that moderate content? Why is Apple included? Is there some conspiracy theory that they’re censoring conservative App Store reviews?

                        Good thing we have a fair and balanced FTC? Right?

                        Lets see:

                        We have 2 Democrats 2 Republicans, and...

                        oh... one vacant seat 👀

                        (also, one of the Democrats was appointed in 2018, we all know who was president then)

                              If we wind up in a situation where the EU mandates a form of censorship that the US bans, I assume that the platforms in question would have to separate their EU and US users and sites.

                                  It should be interesting to see how it plays out, indeed.

                                  I don't expect the US will entirely ban all forms of content moderation. I wouldn't be surprised if the US moved more in the direction of the EU Digital Services Act: required transparency on recommendation algorithms and some sort of NGO trusted flagger system.

                                  Also, similar (but opposite) to Splinternet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_effect

                                        I doubt it. They could just sensor based on location.

                                          It's not censorship, it's "censorship". You know, like banning nazis, calls for harming women etc.
