By Straight Arrow News
U.S. policymakers have struggled to agree on the rules of engagement with social media platforms, especially regarding violent, threatening or otherwise dangerous content. In the wake of recent events — namely the COVID-19 pandemic and the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, both of which were amplified by online dis- and mis-information — some have also argued for the need for government and social media companies to communicate on basic facts regarding elections and public health.
Straight Arrow News contributor Ben Weingarten examines the relationship between public policy and private social media platforms and argues that governments are effectively pressuring social media companies to favor or censor certain content, alleging “a mass censorship conspiracy.”
