The specific delta between this position and the current mainstream approaches of both major parties.
Republicans often condemn platform censorship, but Republican-backed laws like Texas's HB 20 and Florida's SB 7072 tried to solve it by handing government the power to dictate platform editorial choices directly. Both required large platforms to carry speech they would otherwise remove, and both became the compelled-carriage laws challenged in Moody v. NetChoice. Democrats often defend civil liberties in principle, but the same pattern shows up in office: the pressure campaign at issue in Murthy v. Missouri included White House officials repeatedly pressing Facebook by name over COVID-19 content, a record the Court left unresolved on standing grounds rather than reaching the merits. The Innovation Party's delta is to bind both forms of state power: no compelled carriage and no coercive jawboning.
