I'm open to claims against market-dominant outlets such as Twitter or Google regarding biased content censorship. In particular I think there may be an angle that relates to the fact that much of that censorship is in fact government-mandated censorship - just not our government.
I also believe there was antitrust merit to the @getongab lawsuit against Google arising from the latter's conduct in connection with its Play Store, but then again I wrote it. Unfortunately I parted ways with the client and they dropped the suit.
But I am stumped by the proposition that Google or Amazon should be subject to any kind of legal control over what they do or don't want to sell online - including guns - unless and until they are recognized for what they are: Utilities or common carriers.
That has not happened and I don't see any way it will happen. Whatever master plan he may have with respect to FISA warrants or whatever, I cannot buy the 4D-chess argument regarding AG Sessions. Too much inaction over too many DOJ problems.
You can't disregard your responsibility to run your cabinet-level department for over a year as part of some clever sting. The DOJ's continued refusal to litigate in good faith or make disclosures in the national interest, and the wholesale >

The research I did while working on the Gab suit introduced me to chilling facts about Google's technology acquisition strategy, which is plainly anticompetitive; its little-remarked-upon alliance with Twittter; its manipulation of search; its conduct >

But yeah, if Google and Amazon don't want to sell guns, I don't think it's any of our business. <>
