That’s what Congress did by enacting Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, which not only permits tech companies to censor constitutionally protected speech but immunizes them from liability if they do so.
The 1st Amendment, independent from §230, gives companies a general license to remove postings that it finds “otherwise objectionable”.
To bring a libel suit, a plaintiff must show that the defendant published an untrue, damaging statement about them. Twitter said that the NY Post violated the Twitter Rules, which is neither false nor defamatory.
