Unelected multinational corporation: still just a bunch of people.
A bar, or a music festival is also possibly an unelected multinational corporation. Still can kick people out.
I wonder, why can’t I go into the lobby of the Sony building in NYC and stand in my soapbox and rant about TimeCube?
Technically, my blog is run by an unelected multinational corporation… I guess when I delete spam, I’m censoring, right?
It’s just not that hard people.
Facebook is t the government.
Yes, if I kick someone out of my house for being a jerk, and if Google and Facebook globally censor a story, it's the same, because in both cases it's done by people. Thank you for this insightful contribution.
Correct. It is the same, legally, and with respect to the first amendment to the constitution. You cannot force a private (read non-government) entity to endorse, publish, promote, host, etc. anything.
It’s their choice.
Morally equivalent? Heck no.
