All of this can be done without running into the First Amendment third rails that, rightly, sank laws like the one that required newspapers to give political candidates the right to reply to certain stories. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress can impose on Big Tech: 1) Accountability, 2) Transparency, 3) Anti-discrimination, and 4) User empowerment rules The last one returns power back to users to decide what filters they do or do not want, as envisioned by Congress in Section 230. — PolitiTweet.org

Given (a) the strong federal interest in promoting a multiplicity of views, (b) Big Tech’s silencing of views, and (c) Big Tech’s centrality to participating in today’s debates, Congress can, consistent with the First Amendment, require: — PolitiTweet.org

So just like Congress lawfully imposed must-carry rules on cable in 1996—rules that triggered First Amendment scrutiny because they plainly limited cable’s exercise of editorial discretion concerning what speech to carry—Congress can take similar action today w/r/t to Big Tech. — PolitiTweet.org

Big Tech is in a far more dominant position when it comes to controlling the free flow of information today than cable was in 1996. This is particularly so given the centrality of Big Tech’s role in defining what can be said in the modern day / digital town square. — PolitiTweet.org
Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC
In 1996, the Supreme Court wrote that “ensuring public access to a multiplicity of information sources” is a “governmental purpose of the highest order” and, given the bottleneck control cable systems then held, required cable to carry speech they otherwise would have rejected. — PolitiTweet.org

“The Chinese Embassy… said Friday that the FCC ‘abused state power and maliciously attacked Chinese telecom operators again…’” China knows a lot about abusing state power and launching malicious attacks, and they’re simply projecting here. https://t.co/SJCObpcgJN — PolitiTweet.org

Whenever I see someone driving a “courtesy car” from a dealership, my first thought is, oh, that’s a thoughtful dealership that takes care of their customers. My next thought is that they must sell a lot of lemons that break down to justify a fleet of courtesy cars. — PolitiTweet.org

@jbeattie57 I do take the position that we should apply certain anti-discrimination rules to tech platforms. We can do so consistent with the First Amendment. Turner is 1 example where SCOTUS upheld rules requiring a distribution platform to carry speech it wouldnt have otherwise carried. — PolitiTweet.org

@jbeattie57 My tweet says that Twitter does not adhere to the principle of free speech. It doesn’t mention the scope of First Amendment limits or who those apply to. — PolitiTweet.org

Great to connect with the team at Voice of America this morning. They’re doing important work right now providing news, information, and uncensored connectivity abroad—including into Ukraine and Russia. https://t.co/TNXMchOYLR — PolitiTweet.org

Big Tech has more control over more speech than any institution in history. And they’re using that unchecked power to censor at will. We need reforms that will prohibit discrimination while bringing much needed accountability, transparency, and user empowerment. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a hot tip for folks wondering if they should brave the crowds and traffic for DC’s cherry blossom bloom🌸 Look down at a flower on the ground, then quickly look up at a tree. Do that repeatedly. That’s it. They’re flowers on trees. You get the same effect with no crowds. — PolitiTweet.org

It is quite something for the New York Times to lament, and act surprised by, a growing intolerance of opposing views, while omitting any mention of its own decisions to show employees the door and silence stories based on an intolerance of viewpoints. https://t.co/R4onGv4rSR — PolitiTweet.org

Two years ago today, I argued that “disinformation” was becoming the new disinformation— that is, media gatekeepers were starting to slap that label on accurate stories, and political speech they disagreed with, as a means of dismissing them. Checks out https://t.co/NRs60i5Adr — PolitiTweet.org
