How so is it not intrusive for the government to demand private shit it has no business asking for?
Comment on X is suing California over social media content moderation law
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 year agoThere’s nothing intrusive about asking for transparency from companies doing a piss poor job limiting the spread of hate and lies while claiming that their efforts are herculean in effort as well as effectiveness.

It’s not “private shit it has no business asking for”, it’s proof that social media platforms are upholding the special duties that come with the special privileges being the “public square” of the internet.

The government has made it their business via passing the law. So… ya know…

The government can’t just declare itself just and act with unlimited reach

What is precisely unlimited about this? Should companies be able to keep whatever they want behind the curtain and we aren’t allowed to ask what it is?

Is that what they did or did they just create a narrowly defined law for a specific purpose?

Agreed. That said, this argument is never the one to use.
