Government Stepping In And Abolishing Comment Censorship
Is Censorship?
Sorry the premises of your article doesn't meet even the simplest requirements of an argument...logical consistency.
Government can't stop people from being racist, but it does stop people from acting racist as much as it can, hence the Civil Rights Act.
So there is nothing wrong with Government attempting to stop large web sites, which should be considered virtual public gathering spaces, from silencing those it disagrees with. I fully support this effort.
I would revise the bill to say that web sites meeting certain standards of web traffic, caught moderating out political speech they disagree with, will be penalized for each infraction.
