For me, the problem is the political censorship enforced by
Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other tech companies, whose business models
are based on Section 230 of the Communications Act. Section 230 allows
internet platforms to host 3rd party content without copyright liability under
the assumption that the platforms exercise no editorial control of their
content. All social media companies' business models are based on Section
230.
For me the solution is quite simple. Congress should
alter Section 230 so it doesn't allow social media companies to remove content
for any reason. Instead, allow the tech giants to put an "Are you
sure?" question on content they disapprove of, warning that the content
you are asking for doesn't meet their "community guidelines."
Then let the users click through the question.
Allowing users to opt out of platform content filters, as a
condition for allowing companies to hide behind Section 230, is a simple way to
minimize the political censorship they now exercise. It would involve no complex
government regulation or anti-trust litigation.
