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.

Re: Re: A name for this
Readers. The above comment is a perfect example of the comical ignorance of the modern progressive movement.
The Fairness Doctrine:
The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was—in the Commission's view—honest, equitable, and balanced.
It was a policy which originated from progressives who wanted to control talk radio shows from being 100% right wing circle jerks, an irony lost on this poster.
While Ironic and entertaining, this is the type of uneducated dumbass is exactly the type who allowed Obama to campaign on Single Payer and not call him on it when we ended up with RomneyCare.

That's why Tim Cushing is so triggered by this.
The hypocrisy of a web site like TechDirt Arguing that censorship through moderation is a right is clearly lost on the now deranged Techdirt editorial staff.
