Facebook is now devoid of any pretense of support for free speech. Their actions/policies betray corruption, stupidity, and so on down that list.
Facebook is a publicly-traded company. Is there any way, say via class-action that they can be held to account for their corrupt and biased policies?
What about their treatment of shareholders? Anyone holding shares is an owner. Can a mere employee remove an owner's ability to post?
When they went public, did they not relinquish certain prerogatives WRT how they run the business?
They are behaving like low-rent fascists and I would like to see them taken to the wood shed. Anyone here know what is what WRT my questions in terms of legal formality? Is there a basis for forcing them to behave in a civil and equitable manner and perhaps hitting them hard in the pocketbook? It seems to me time is ripe for putting this brand of progressive nonsense to rights. Clearly they have gone off the rails, as has Twitter. I know there is some sort of action being entertained by DoJ revolving around the question of whether these entities are "publishers" (they most certainly are), but what of other angles? I do not see how a publicly traded company can get away with this sort of thing, given the very nature of such an entity's ownership structure.
Ideas? Opinions?
