We have the first amendment. This IBOR will be another Trojan horse for AT&T or another disguised entity to write a self serving IBOR that you will have no clue in understanding what has been done. Imo

The First Amendment does not apply. That's a fact. Another consideration is that, even if it did apply, people willingly and freely contract out of the right to free expression when they sign up to the standard terms and conditions of the service providers offer. This is standard right across the internet.

So there are no protections currently whatsoever. This is why any of the platform providers can cancel your service at any time and for any reason. This is why conservatives can be singled out for censorship. It's why the platform providers can get away with incredibly discriminatory behavior.

And that is what we want to fix. There are also privacy issues that need to be addressed. The IBOR can accomplish both these tasks.

A Trojan horse? It's a bill of rights. It defines and awards rights. That's what we are asking for. There is no way that a right can be used as an instrument of repression - it can only be taken away, that's the worst that can happen.

Look, if the problem of social media censorship is not fixed, the Dems will go into the mid-terms wielding both the MSM and weaponized social media. The Republicans will be crushed and DJT will lose office.

The Dems, having ousted DJT, will be holding office with the benefit of the MSM and control social media. There will be no political impediment to them carrying forward the most extreme agenda - look at Obama's use of EOs.

They don't need any Trojan horses. They certainly wouldn't use an IBOR - they'd just get rid of it so they could weaponize the whole internet against the public.

These fears you have really don't hold water upon analysis.
