You just reworded “freedom of speech is not freedom of reach,” an ADL slogan that specifically refers to algorithmic manipulation, not forcing people to look at things. \n\nThe First Amendment was written during the era of the printing press. The analogy would be if some cartel of Jews bought up every single printing press in the country and started regulating what they were allowed to print. \n\n(And then the feds were secretly backchanneling with you, telling you what to specifically ban.)\n\nNo one was required to buy a book. They were not required to go into the book store selling the book if their feelings were hurt by seeing the book. Just so, no one is required to view content they don’t want to see. \n\nThe algorithm is what is constitutionally obligated to be neutral. When one of my domains changed (blocked by some country, I think Rwanda), a throwaway article I wrote was at the top of Google News, because the algorithm treated it neutrally. This was earned, based on objective metrics. Google is not a local bookseller who objects to my content therefore refuses to carry my book. \n\nEvery major tech platform is not the de facto public square. Further, they are utilities, necessary to condoct commerce, not simply make political statements. Why not cut people’s electric in the winter because they said “nigger”? It’s a private company that delivers the utility."}
