"While Facebook is a private company not subject to the First Amendment’s limits"

Not buying this argument anymore. Federal government created Facebook both in terms of funding, and legislation that allows it to publish things like defamatory material without being held liable. It operates under government authority. Either remove its special protection under federal law, or call it what it is -- a quasi-government entity.

i have wondered why social media hasn't been sued under the public accommodation doctrine that allowed black people to sit at the counter simply by virtue of the owner opening his doors to the public.
