Robert Barnes argues that Big Tech companies should be treated as "company towns" under the First Amendment because they hold a monopoly over the digital public square. He criticizes the current judicial interpretation of Section 230, which grants tech firms immunity from lawsuits. Barnes cites Justice Clarence Thomas and the "Pruneyard" case to support the idea that private monopolies on public discourse must be subject to constitutional limiting principles.
