I gave an example of where the owner's conduct would be reason to suspect that he is acting as a publisher rather than a platform as an analogy to a social media platform that moderates content based on viewpoint.
Fine. Let's say Twitter is indisputably a publisher.

Is there any legality keeping a publisher from censoring content as they please?

If they don't, they should. Marjorie Taylor Green was permanently banned from Twitter for misinformation.

There's a certain inutile poster on this site who should get the same treatment.
What are you afraid of?

If someone is posting such obvious misinformation why would you fear it so much? Is it because you don't like the results of those debates? It is because the so called misinformation is no so obvious, isn't it? That is your problem.

You have no respect for honest debates. If you did you would be saying "bring it on" so you could discredit the so called nonsense. The truth is you hate that you are incapable of discrediting opinions you are weak at countering.

Your desire for fascism says more about you than it does about me. If you hate debates so much why are you on this forum? Fear. That is why. You fear me. You are a cowering covidiot.

No, but it does mean they could be liable for defamation if the fail to take down a defamatory post.

Social networks like Twitter don't want to be considered publishers.

Why do they want to dump it in the ocean? Why not keep it right where it is at?

It is Japan's problem, not the world's problem. It is their radiation and they should keep it there.

Hence, why companies like Twitter need full autonomy to regulate posts.

MTG Does not engage in honest debate though does she, she tells twisted lies, and makes offensive comments.
The ultra right wing project to elevate their lies on a par with reality has failed, just get over it.

If I told you to dive in the toilet to be with your ideas and you did it, would that be incitement?

You're comparing apples to bowling balls. Yelling 'Fire' in a theater when there is no fire is false speech likely to cause harm examples: a stampede, harm to the theaters business, loss of enjoyment for the patrons. It's in the realm of defamation, false speech likely to c ...[text shortened]... ' nor was there anyone commanding people to fight like hell.

Enjoy your swim in the sewer water.
The people who went to the Capitol and smashed their way in themselves said that they were incited to do so by Trump. The courts have so far convicted several of them, with several hundred more cases pending. Is a command necessary to prove incitement? No. Were they stupid to succumb to Trump's incitement? Yes. Does stupidity excuse a criminal offense. No. Q.E.D.

The Capitol Police opened the barricade and let them. That gave them the ability to approach the capitol building and enter. Trump was not to blame for that.

Have the courts convicted any of the capitol police for letting the protesters in?

First you have to prove it is misinformation. Marjorie Taylor Green was NOT permanently banned from Twitter for misinformation.

She posted VAERS data. She was banned for posting numbers collected by the government.

https://vaers.hhs.gov/

Is our government posting misinformation on VAERS? Yes or no?

Why do we fear misinformation.
So you don't know. Right.
Like you don't that. Just another example of you weaponizing anything you think will push your sick ass agendas.
You don't discuss. You ONLY weaponize. You have ZERO interest in actual science for instance, ONLY in what you think you can do to weaponize someone's research because you think you are the smartest dude on the planet.

You think the misinformation is the truth and you are spreading the misinformation. That is why you never prove what you call misinformation is really the misinformation.

When I said the covid vaccines in the USA were gene vaccines using gene therapy technology you called that misinformation. It is the truth. You fear the truth and you call the truth a lie.

You are incapable knowing the truth from the lie. You are the last person that should determine what is misinformation.
