Who will be the first "conservative" Premier to dare to be so bold?
I have embedded below the bill that has been drafted here in Minnesota, and will be introduced in the state’s Senate tomorrow. It is couched in terms of discrimination, and it prohibits internet service providers and social media companies from restricting users’ content on the basis of race, sex, religion or political orientation. The bill includes statutory damages of $50,000 per violation, along with recovery of attorneys’ fees. It creates an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, including non-discrimination, in all applicable terms of use.
It will require a fair bit of nimble stepping, of course. After all, fairness and "non-discrimination" apparently only applies when it isn't benefitting conservatives. Contrast fake "discrimination" versus actual discrimination at Ryerson, for example.
