Speech is free. You don’t have a right to force private companies to promote your speech.ive heard about it. we need freedom of speech for everyone. its healthy.
Literally no one is suggesting that you demwit.Speech is free. You don’t have a right to force private companies to promote your speech.
speech is free in the constitution but you can not have it by fear, or pressure from your job or your group you identify with. i just posted an article on this in media bias.Speech is free. You don’t have a right to force private companies to promote your speech.
What differentiates them from a public utility that is regulated?Speech is free. You don’t have a right to force private companies to promote your speech.
Society would be better off without them unlike public utilities.What differentiates them from a public utility that is regulated?

You can construct any narrative you want by your choices in who to follow on any platform. Quit embracing the right wing victimhood identity politics.
one is essential. One holds a necessary monopoly. You have choice and options. You don't seem like the type to push for more government involvement in our lives. They own a soap box among many soap boxes. The owner should be allowed to regulate itself. The owner should also have reasonable immunity from what someone says on their soapbox. These protections are essential to these businesses. They drives innovation and competition. As a consumer you have choice and power. You can boycott/bypass facebook, but can't really bypass the water company.What differentiates them from a public utility that is regulated?
Newspapers are old technology. Social media is new technology. There are long established rules for newspapers to protect the public from their power. When a newspaper goes after a private citizen(this also pertains to tv news networks)they must be very careful to be exact and truthful or they can face serious litigation. The new technology, social media platforms, have been given protections as a platform. However when the owners of that platform take sides, and their side goes after private citizens in ways that can harm that citizen, such as doxing, the owners are definitely risking the government establishing oversight, and taking away protections that keep them from being sued. "Cancel culture", if not reined in, will eventually lead to the government stepping in.one is essential. One holds a necessary monopoly. You have choice and options.

I do think internet service should at the very least be considered a common carrier, but the current FCC allows ISP's way to much freedom. You may not like Twitter's moderation, but as it stands your very access to twitter is at risk.
The internet is now essential to the education of our children and the lively hood of countless people. Consumer protections and higher regulations in the industry (ISP's, not internet businesses) is going to be needed for America and Americans to be leaders in the digital world.
The news paper has rules. This is america you do not put rules on the news stand. You have consumer choice where to shop. The owner of the news stand has choice in what to stock and immunity within reason to the inventory. Also reasonable immunity to possibly bias censorship (taking a sharpie to a playboy).Newspapers are old technology. Social media is new technology.

When the owner of the news stand decides to take that sharpie to a playboy then playboy has the right to remove their magazine from his new stand. Actions have consequences and when those actions hurt private citizens the government has an obligation to play referee. Stock exchanges are platforms too but when operators of those exchanges act on inside information they break the law. Same thing with social media platforms. As long as it is a platform the owner of the platform is protected from litigation that newspapers aren't. Cross the line and participate in behavior that harms others then the platform owners risk losing their protection. I don't know why you can't see that. I guess as long as the platforms back your point of view you're fine with it. Wonder how you'll feel when they decide you must be deleted from public discourse and go after you in every way possible including showing up at your home or trying to get you fired?The news paper has rules.

This is about freedom and private ownership, something I enjoy.

Yes exactly. They get to choose who gets to sell their content.When the owner of the news stand decides to take that sharpie to a playboy then playboy has the right to remove their magazine from his new stand.
I said common carrier there's a big difference. Twitter is nothing more than a soap box. Privately owned and operated soapbox. Big brother should only have minimum control of our soapbox's. Don't like the soapbox they're other soapbox's or build your own. Free market, rugged individualism and boot strapping america.Internet is a public utility as you imply.
Twitter is a content platform which uses the internet.
The consideration at this point is whether Twitter is/has becoming a public utility as well.
Many ISP’s are owned by public utilities at this point.
