The US government demanded access to the US based social media companies to pull whatever sensitive information they wanted. They just don’t want China to have the same access.

Or Russia, Iran, or North Korea.

What I meant is that it's derogatory to use the term "mansplain". Sorry for confusing you.

"Only white men do X" is absolutely racist and sexist. "Mansplain" is derogatory.

Those companies are already based in the US.

Are Black trans women known for this kind of behaviour?

The question suggests that Black trans women are all alike. It's exactly that kind of generalization that's being criticized.

It's become too easy. It no longer involves actually standing on the floor of the senate and talking. It's a purely procedural thing now. OP should have said "bring back the talking filibuster".

Musk's companies are already based in the US. The issues you raise, however valid, are not really relevant to a discussion of this bill.

I think there's definitely a case to be made that recommendation algorithms, etc. constitute editorial control and thus the platform may not be immune to lawsuits based on user posts.

It was a Democrat caught stating the obvious, not a Republican caught admitting the obvious.

Anyone else feel like the article really didn't want to mention that part?
