Which is it, Facebook?

Facebook has always based its  legal immunity  on a law which protects platforms.   But now it is invoking its free speech right as a publisher, so that its ability to claim users are extremists is protected.   The law which protects platforms does not protect publishers,  so in claiming its status as publisher,  it has lost the protections of the law regarding platforms.

It appears that the smart boys at Facebook have maneuvered themselves into a legal blind alley they will have  serious trouble trying to back out of.   I confess this pleases me,  because I found the company overbearing,  autocratic and downright nosy before Laura Loomer filed suit.
