I know the point of this is probably just intimidation but 35 companies? Are there 35 social networks that moderate content? Why is Apple included? Is there some conspiracy theory that they’re censoring conservative App Store reviews?

Good thing we have a fair and balanced FTC? Right?
Lets see:
We have 2 Democrats 2 Republicans, and…
oh… one vacant seat 👀
(also, one of the Democrats was appointed in 2018, we all know who was president then)

And by “free speech”, we mean you have to publish what we tell you.
If we wind up in a situation where the EU mandates a form of censorship that the US bans, I assume that the platforms in question would have to separate their EU and US users and sites.

It should be interesting to see how it plays out, indeed.
I don’t expect the US will entirely ban all forms of content moderation. I wouldn’t be surprised if the US moved more in the direction of the EU Digital Services Act: required transparency on recommendation algorithms and some sort of NGO trusted flagger system.
Generally speaking, when a much stronger party forces upon you a mechanism, it doesn’t work in your favor. Whether they call it free speech (for bot campaigns too, while you get banned) or moderation (your opponent insults you in every comment, and they are fine, but you insult them once - you’re banned).
The super weirdest thing is that people again and again believe that the strong party belonging to “their” side will do things right this time in history.

You misunderstand. This IS Trump’s chosen stooge. FTC Chairman Carr.
He’s complaining about tech companies “censoring” conservatives for “speaking their minds”, aka being hateful bigots and spreading misinformation during a public health crisis.

If someone got banned on Reddit for calling Clarence Thomas a house slave like Stephen Candie in Django, can he file a complaint with the FC for tech censorship? Asking for a friend.

so musk will be investigated over how he runs xitter, right?
He’s already investigated himself and found that Xitter is a bastion of freedom. Same goes for Truth Social.
How long until hosting a Lemmy instance is illegal?
Well, as a lot of us are on instances hosted outside the US, a very long time.
Compelled speech it is then?
So when are bakers going to be forced to bake cakes for gay couples?
Oh, right, hypocrites. Naturally.
Reveling in their hypocrisy won’t save anything.
They don’t care that you think and I see them as hypocrites.
It slightly saves my sanity. Only slightly though.

Also, similar (but opposite) to Splinternet: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_effect
I doubt it. They could just sensor based on location.
It’s not censorship, it’s “censorship”. You know, like banning nazis, calls for harming women etc.
