Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (c)(1, 2) grants "platforms" broad discretion. What is the real question here? Are users of a platform "entitled" to the use of that platform? Are they paying for that use (buying, exchanging value for value) or is it offered gratis to any who wishes to use it? Is the platform provider "obligated" to offer the service? Under the 1st Amendment, citizens "Are Entitled" to express (say/have) any opinion they wish (generally). Does the 1st Amendment guarantee the right to be heard, not be offended, or disagreed with? Each "Platform" is like private property where they are offering free use of a whistle. The private property owner gets to decide who comes in to use that whistle. Do we want government to regulate that private property and how the whistle will be used? How is government doing now with all the authorities it does have? "Who is John Galt?"
