Yes. But it cuts both ways. People are complaining about content that they value, being censored by Meta; but it's of course, legal. The point is that the line should not be drawn at legal. There should be a strong impulse in society towards letting people speak, and letting other people hear, things we disagree with. So that means, letting LGBTQ+ say their piece, but it also means letting people who have "bad medical advice" blather on as well. And if you think the world is better off by censoring either of those groups, don't be surprised when they're both censored (and a lot of other people too). Once the cultural norm is suppression and censorship, there's no end of places where people will want it applied. | ||

I'm definitely against the government censoring any of those groups. But I don't see how the First Amendment allows Congress to pass a law telling web sites what they must publish. | ||
