Radiolab And Free Speech

Radiolab recently did an update to an episode they made about Social Media and censorship...and they fell on the wrong side AGAIN. If entities like Facebook are going to determine what posts are seen and not seen, which pictures are okay and not okay, they are a PUBLISHER and should be subject to all the laws and liability that Publishers are. If they are going to claim they are only a "platform" and that "users" are in control...then don't elevate posts, don't hide posts, don't take money and distribute some posts more than others, don't censor images, ideas, or anything else...leave it exactly as posted, in the order it was posted, and allow it to distribute naturally.

I can't believe Radiolab has had time to think about this, are so famous they presumably have access to plenty of academics and ethicists...and yet have REAFFIRMED their belief in gross and completely arbitrary censorship. They are great storytellers, but terrible thinkers.
