So what happens when misinformation is posted and the corporation won't act to remove it?

In twitter's case, what happens when the corporation actively works to avoid accountability for it?

Nothing negative should happen to the company. In an ideal world the company should be lauded by everybody who values free speech for not bowing down to government censorship. The politicans supporting censorship should be voted out and the government should pay back any money it took in fines with interest. Those in the company who stood up for free speech should be given a medal by the new government.

Of course, we live in a society which loves censorship and hates free speech. Given the hatred of free speech we are seeing in this thread, I am guessing the ideal situation won't happen anytime soon.

    That's a very American view of "free speech"

      It is also the view of the Brazilians? This is from their constitution:

      > Any and all censorship of a political, ideological and artistic nature is forbidden.

      They seem to be quite explicit and make no exemption for misinformation.
