Because that would be a violation of the first amendment. Refer to my other reply.

The problem isn't that we should hold corporations as powerful as the govt to the same standards as the govt; literally by definition, the govt wouldn't have the power to do that. The problem is that they are getting to powerful, and they should be broken up to prevent them from owning the govt, to promote competition and innovation, and to give consumers more alternatives to pick from.
Instead, they just own the govt.
But I want to be clear, no solution should ever involve holding a private entity "liable for violations of the first amendment", because that is itself a violation of the first amendment. A private entity can only control its own speech, and Nexstar refusing to broadcast Kimmel is them making a choice on their own speech. But if the govt can force a company to broadcast Kimmel, then it can also force them to broadcast harmful content, and we don't want that. What we want is competition.

If only there was a way to know....
Oh, weird, I clicked on the headline and a bunch more text showed up,
Ian Roberts was arrested by U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement for allegedly being in the United States illegally
Lol no, it will always be someone else' fault. But I think he's assuming the democrats see the writing on the wall, and allowing (another) shutdown to happen under trump's watch is their least bad option. I expect he'll make full use of the crisis, nothing would surprise me at this point...
I was going to make a joke about them selling a contraption to just strap a screen to your face so we could reach peak brain rot, but then I remembered the Quest exists.
Nice, I've been holding off on playing it until 1.0. Might have to take a Silksong break and try it out.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, “No one is above the law.”
What are you on about? SCOTUS literally ruled that the president is above the law.
Man.....history class is going to be hilarious in the future.
For the record, the "weird" meme was years after their rhetoric was deemed objectively fascist by every historical expert on the subject. It wasn't hyperbole, only people saying, "it can't happen here, that's a slippery slope argument".
And now here we are: SCOTUS-approved racial profiling, concentration camps, disappearing, FCC openly stifling free speech, open attack on sec 230, a budget to benefit oligarchs, pay2win tariffs, rule-by-executive-order. Trump now considers it an act of terrorism to say you are anti-fascism.
To still bend over backwards to say "both sides" at this point is absolutely wild to me.
They have root access on your phone and it doesn't function without constantly connecting to apple severs for every little thing. If Apple wants access to your data, they're gonna get access.
