Subject: Re: Instagram and Meta knew
Do you think they should have the power to censor those parents, though?
If a parent is knowingly trafficking their child? Absolutely. The question to ask is why isn't that a prominent part of their Terms of Service?
The arguments being made in support of the Texas law (and to a lesser extent the Florida law) are to the effect that the big social media companies are common carriers - that they should not be allowed to pick and choose their content. Should Meta or Instagram have the right to banish content just because they feel it's harmful, even though it's perfectly legal?
They're already doing this and have been for years, often at the behest of the federal government. How much reach did you get if you posted in 2021 that COVID-19 started in a lab?
