Why do we carve things out for – and I would’ve said Jack Dorsey before and I did say that a couple years ago? This is – it’s just insanity that we’re allowing these billion dollar corporations to have an exemption that nobody else has,” he said. Gay said it’s unfortunate that people who are not journalists believe the First Amendment is theirs, too. “The problem here is that the world has changed, and so to your point, Joe, now you have companies that are actually not journalistic organizations that disseminating information, some of it factual, some of it dangerous, some of it hate speech, and they are, they essentially have no responsibility for the consequences of that,” she said. She avoided the questions about who is a journalist, and what is hate speech, saying, “For the Americans sitting at home, the question is well, what responsibility should YouTube or Google or Facebook have if they’re promoting hate speech on their platforms?” Gay noted that the First Amendment is, in fact, “very broad.” “And of course, as a journalist, that’s a wonderful thing,” he said. But she said corporations that disseminate “dangerous” or “hate” speech have no consequences.
