Twitter isn't the government, and has no obligation to host speech it doesn't like. Nobody's constitutional rights are being violated when they get booted off of Twitter.

    I'm sure ATT is working on a way to do just that.

    I agree with both you and /u/FediNetizen. I am conflicted.

    As Magnora said, those corps have reached a size to be considered public utilities as evidenced by similar court decisions.

    The situation is that people who have views that are not being censored, are ecstatic that opposing viewpoints are being censored. These people love to say:

    Twitter isn't the government, and has no obligation to host speech it doesn't like.

    Ad nauseum

    Of course were the shoe on the other foot, they'd be howling about how these corps should be treated as a public utility.

    Hypothetically, exactly how many user rows in a database does a website need to have in order to be considered a public utility? A million?

    Twitter isn't some exclusive service that there can only be one of; there are a number of direct micro-blogging competitors to Twitter, such as Parler, Gab, the Fediverse, etc. Your Twitter ban doesn't stop you from using any of those other services.

    Twitter is by far the most popular, but it's still subject to market forces, and Twitter's competitors are growing in part because of Twitter's action.

    The comparison would make more sense if we were talking about your ISP refusing to serve you because of your conduct.

    I agree, but at the same time I think there is a certain size of popularity at which the website should become a public utility, instead of a private company. And I think twitter, facebook, and youtube, have crossed that threshold.

    Fedi, tiresome parroted argument that's a favorite of pro censorship left wing nuts. It was already determined by higher courts that when a private corporations "property" had become a common enough public space, that the corporation could not violate citizens rights such as assembly, and speech. Twitter and Facebook are certainly at this stage.

    Do you realize how much government funding has gone into the big social media corporations, from places like DARPA, In-Q-Tel, etc.?

    [[[((("They")))]]] ARE incestuously in bed AND government AND the technocracy.

    [[[They]]] = technocratic corporatocracy

    (((They))) = globalist Zionist Jews/Christians

    "They" = Them, the powers that be, ruling class, the man, the establishment, the status quo, authority.

    Correct. However they will find legal issues with section 230 of the CDA when they act as a publisher vs just being a content platform

    in indonesia(a muslim country), unfriendly conversation is an indictable offense and you can and will serve prison time for having unfriendly conversation.

    islam decides what is unfriendly conversation and what is not unfriendly conversation.

    for a nonmuslim to simply offend a muslim can be considered a capital offense and you will lose your head.

    AllahuAkbar.

    hello prisonmike.. i was having an affair with a mexican lady about a dozen years ago.. her son was obviously a meth gangster.. she got a little sauced up on the booze and the meth one night and she told me that her entire family is criminals.. she said that when she goes to have christmas dinner with her family that there is mafia at the table and there are prison guards at the table.

    so now not only do the gangs run the prison yard, but they also run the prison.

    prison trivia 101.
