The article flags both poor and minority communities as suffering from broadband discrimination. Given the blatant racism of the Republicans, would it be a tactically good move to refight this battle focusing on poor communities only, knowing that many minority communities would benefit from a win?
A lot of the stuff in my algorithmic feed is "recommended" there because the publisher paid the platform to recommend it to me. It's an ad. And in general commercial speech is more heavily regulated than political speech (see previous comments r.e. Winter v. Putnam). Does section 230 protect this as well? I don't think it should.
