Yes and no...corporations don't have a right to vote so they really don't have a right to interfere in the election. The argument that they are owned by American citizens loses ground when their contributions, financial or in kind, exceed the regulatory limit. One censorship instance of a piece critical or supporting of a candidate constitutes a major in kind donation far exceeding statutory limits.

An interesting point of view...
Does the legislation uphold it??

It’s not quite as straight forward as you would think. They are abusing, I believe section 203 or something like that was actually passed to regulate vulgarity in the social media platforms. I think the more problematic is these companies have monopolies. They can be broken up. When you put yourself out their as a public platform yet sensor speech you may be in violation of the first amendment also. This ain’t China.

It's Section 230 and I believe it should be removed ! !

That's what Citizens United lets them do. You guys loved it when it benefited you. Are you telling me you don't like it when it's used to bring your candidate down? I'm shocked PR, just shocked. I really thought you would be more open-minded than that. After all, Trump gained the benefit of more than one billionaires pack money. You guys are the ones who thought it was great if billionaires could buy the election...just so they were buying it for you.
Well, in case you missed Democrats have more than a few billionaires on their side who either hate what Trump is doing to this nation or are democrats and more than willing to throw in a few tens of millions to bring him down. It's chump change to them but a political pack targeting a candidate in just the right way can bring the SOB down.
So hurrah for Citizens United. Who would have thought that Democrat could use it be help bring Donald J Trump down!

That falls into campaign finance and as Donald Trump proved nobody really gives a damn about it. Cohen went to jail for his part in the conspiracy but Trump just snubbed his nose at it and no one seems to give a damn.

Ok, then I say they are, as individuals, arguably engaging in voter suppression.

Biden for over 20 years has been pushing the NWO and the UN which also means China (not Russia) and the Central Banks and their ponzi schemes. Nations are fed up with China so now China is investing in China and stimulating their economy as much as they can. They were preparing to make it easy for China to invade but now they have decided to just ask the UN to monitor our elections. Biden invited them, but somehow they're all from communist countries. Right now their is only one communist country in the world I can think of, China and they pay Hunter millions and the big guy (Joe) makes 10% off the top. Pretty clear Joe and Harris will stack the courts, ram through their policies, and surrender to China, UN, Central Banks and the IMF so they can keep bleeding all nations of their wealth through usuary or as we know it interest. They will soon offer negative interest rates and load everyone up with debt and then keep raising interest rates until they control the world. I'm sticking with POTUS.
