Frederick Pinto: There's no vaccine for the social media censorship virus. Here's the commonsense solution

Many solutions have been advanced to combat social media censorship. All have met with resistance. To date, all have failed.

This time, censorship’s trigger moment was the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Facebook’s oversight board eventually recanted somewhat and is now calling on the company to make a "proportionate response" by November. The other bans — those from Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitch and YouTube — stand. In all, the actions cut off a former president from communicating ANY content with his 150 million  followers and subscribers — equivalent to almost half the U.S. population.
