Of course Comrade, there must be consequences for these firms pushing Counter-Revolutionary content. They can have free expression, but they must realize these algorithms are causing great harm to the Proletariat by platforming such content.

Well it would be the same exact protections that are provided to everyone else's free speech.

Yes, if you as a person start making death threats or direct calls to violence, then you could be held liable for that.

Were you not aware of that?

An algorithm isn't any different from any other sort of speech.

Brother, the child asphyxiation challenge isn’t political content getting unfairly banned. They would only be liable for harm that can be proven, far as I’m aware, so political speech wouldn’t be affected unless it was defamatory or something like a direct threat.
