Do you know about liability laws?
Do you know about the 4th amendment? Facebook is violating American laws when they act as a platform and as a publisher simultaneously because that violates governmental contracts that they and other tech giants entered using the Safe Harbor Act plus other things. If you study history of related issues, you will see Bill Gates and Microsoft were in court with the U.S government in the 1990's for many years and especially in 1998 because they were violating similar laws. Likewise, you can look at what was happening in the 1970's with United States v. AT&T.
That is just the tip of the iceberg.
People make movies, films, shows, documentaries; write articles, books, research papers, posts, messages, etc, regarding some of what I'm talking about right here. We're talking what Edward Snowden said in his book. We're talking about DARPA, PRISM, the CIA, other programs, other agencies, what they've been doing, what they've been funding. Some of it involves collusion, treason, espionage, other federal felonies, crimes. Contracts, in a court of law, is taken very seriously. So, you have to pay attention to the original contracts and then look at the violations that occur later on. When you study law, you will see how grave these things are and how multidimensional they can be.
Can a platform also be a publisher?
If you act like a publisher, then you violate your liability protection granted by the Safe Harbor Act and possibly other acts and other things, meaning Facebook no longer has liability protection, legally speaking, and that opens up a can of worms, many different things, because they can be sued, they can be tried in a court of law, they can be held accountable for what users post on Facebook. Same thing for Twitter, YouTube, etc. When you're a publisher, like a newspaper agency, a magazine company, a book publishing company, etc, then the Facebook users become the employees, the writers. Facebook would then become potentially responsible for a wide variety of things.
Publicly Funded
But it gets worse, Facebook and other ghetto social media networks and tech cartels have been funded through certain three-letter governmental agencies which means indirectly tax-payer funded which means potentially a public utility or something that can be voted on as it has been funded by American tax-payers. Not allowing Americans the right to vote, to negotiate, is a crime. You can't do that. And that is just the tip of the iceberg like I said, I'm not even mentioning how Facebook violates their own terms and services internally outside of all of this. Long story short, Facebook selectively enforce their own rules. That is bogus. That is 1984. That is a wide variety of different things. I will continue writing about some of these things in the future. My goal is to link to other articles, documentaries, videos, websites, lawsuits against Facebook, etc, etc. There is a lot of information spanning many decades relating to some of these things and much more.
