Big Tech takes a lot of heat for distributing disinformation to millions. But what about TV carriers? Why do they escape scrutiny for beaming into millions of homes propagandists who recklessly use their platforms to spread lies and conspiracy theories? https://cnn.it/3hVvaX6 
Tech companies have rules over the content posted on their platforms. Do TV carriers have similar guidelines for the content they distribute? If so, what are they? If not, why not? I asked AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Charter, and Dish. I didn't hear back. 😞 http://cnn.it/3hVvaX6 
At least Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and others have acknowledged they have some responsibility for the content they host and they have very clearly posted community guidelines on their websites for all to see. Why do we expect any less of TV companies? http://cnn.it/3hVvaX6
