It’s time we make Twitter and Facebook public utilities!

[Redcurtain]

Does Twitter need to become a public utility?

(RNS) — If Twitter really wants to be a neutral space for debate, it can't choose between Silicon Valley's progressive ideology and the religious commitments of Pope Francis.

State owned information disseminating service? That's what a communist would do.

Conservatives will never be able to come to terms with the fact that reality often has a liberal bias.

Utilities are governed at the state level. They have a board which oversees their activities. Boards at the state level are often political appointees. Twitter and Facebook are based in California. They would be regulated by California politicians. Since seeing a herd of unicorns is more likely than Republicans ever winning in California again, Democrats would be regulating what goes on Twitter and Facebook.

I'm sure conservatives would think that was a great idea.

Just think of it as a water utility company.. somebody still owns it but the government make sure the water is filtered and good just like language is just as important as water in America.

You have free speech. Now you want to require that a privately owned entity provides you a platform for it? Good luck.

I don’t have free speech on a publicly public square platform, that they have claimed to be which is why billions of people have joined. So now I want my speech treated like water online. Free flowing

Just because you are not allowed to say anything you want does not mean you do not have free speech. And just because a private entity has rules does not mean your rights are being violated. The US Constitution does not guarantee the gov't will force a privately owned entity to allow you to say whatever you want.

 

[Mac1958]

Wow, more big, authoritarian government.

They are editing content on a platform they say is open to the public that makes them publishers and if they are publishers they should be held accountable for liable laws, campaign finance laws. Don’t invite billions onto your platform as a public form and then say well we’re not we’re going to edit what you’re saying. That fits our political narrative. They are currently working as a agent to the Democratic Party..

No more freedom.. they still own it

So its ok if they still own it, but the gov't regulations it heavily?

Yeah, that is still big, authoritarian government.

You are free to start a new version of Twitter and Facebook. Confiscating the rights of the private property owner because of hurt feeling is not acceptable.

I did on a open platform, what’s your point?

 

[Natural Citizen]

Probably could just repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
It's what these companies like Twitter and Facebook are invoking as grounds to justify policing any legitimate content they deem inappropriate.

Section 230 is what shields them from legal liability if they act ''in good faith'' to remove what they deem objectionable.
