Yes exactly. They get to choose who gets to sell their content.

What you want is the government to force the news stand to carry playboy and ban censorship by a privately owned news stand.

This is not american. A single social media platform is not essential to anyone. You have the freedom to not use one and the freedom to use another. I fully support a right wing twitter or a hippie dippie safe space platform.

Freedom the american way...
When has censorship been the American way? I don't want the government to force anything. It's role is as referee. You're essentially saying that it's ok for the owners of social media platforms to use their power to bully others as long as they are on your side. By that standard whites can be racist to blacks and the government is supposed to just look the other way. The government is supposed to insure a fair playing field for everyone and that extends to the modern public square aka social media. Too many times we are seeing what turns into a lynch mob before all the facts are known. The Press did that with Jewell, Zimmerman, and Sandmann before all the facts were known and got spanked in civil courts for doing so. You don't want social media to be held to the same standards so that you can attack those on the right without consequence. Encouraging people to find out where people live and work which one day will lead to tragedy is going too far. If social platforms can't regulate themselves then the government will have to step in.
 

It will be fine

Lol. The conservative wants more regulation on private industry as if the federal government’s involvement will increase freedom. Why do you hate free markets?

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.

Here's the difference. If twitter blocked/censored joe biden or cnn I'd be upset. I would not call for the government to get involved. I'd support another platform or protest twitter to change.
So if Twitter pushed a false narrative that hurt the candidate or network you're against you'd have no problem with it? No responsibility on Twitter's part to verify everything?

We love the constitution , and last time I checked freedom and free speech was in the constitution . So if you're going to have a business based on speech in the United States you better follow the Constitution !!!!

NY Post is doing what the Press is supposed to do but is failing miserably at, unearthing the truth and informing the public.
They should fact check before they print a hit piece on someone. Thinking the senate should subpoena the CEO to get to the bottom of this.

You have no right to be heard in a privately owned space.

Ahh , see this is where it has to go to the Supreme Court because any company that is based on the general public and free speech ( which is what this country is based on ) they have to honor constitutional law . I surprised there hasn't been a massive law suit yet !!! It will have to be fixed if the country is going to remain free !!!!

You think the government regulating what speech is allowed on private platforms is following the constitution. Have you read the constitution?

Free and FAIR speech is required , Constitutional law , I don't like government regulations but if they don't comply then so be it . The only other option is to break up the companies , which may happen !!!
