“The FCC should work with Congress on more fundamental Section 230 reforms that go beyond interpreting its current terms. Congress should do so by ensuring that Internet companies no longer have carte blanche to censor protected speech while maintaining their Section 230 protections. As part of those reforms, the FCC should work with Congress to ensure that antidiscrimination provisions are applied to Big Tech—including “back-end” companies that provide hosting services and DDoS protection. Reforms that prohibit discrimination against core political viewpoints are one way to do this and would track the approach taken in a social media law passed in Texas, which was upheld on appeal in late 2022 by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.”

Context:
That’s incredibly rich, coming from a Project 2025 author. The entire document calls for bringing back discrimination against racial minorites, women, LGBTQ+ people, and more; but because they’re bigly mad that private social media companies censored their vaccine misinformation (or, they think that’s what happened), now they’re crying discrimination against themselves. What hypocritical asshattery.
