If you modify the content on a service like Twitter (ie Censorship of non-criminal activity) normally you'd be deamed a publisher and become responsible for all the content. As such you'd be liable (npi) for slander done by your users. If you're a platform and not a publisher, users are responsible and you can't censor.Wouldn't a law like this be in violation of the rights of a private (read: non-government) entity to decide who they do and do not want to provide service to?
Silicon Valley Companies have been exempted though inaction and law from committing to either one. As such they've been censoring without assuming accountability for slander promoted on their sites.
There is basically a ready made solution for censorship and/or social media mobs who start spreading exaggerations and falsehoods to destroy people. You're not suppose to have both.
