SPOKANE, Wash. — A North Idaho internet provider, Your T1 WIFI, confirmed it is blocking Facebook and Twitter from its WIFI service for some customers due to censorship claims.

The social media sites banned the President due to violations of their terms of service. Because Twitter and Facebook are private companies, their bans on the President do not violate the First Amendment, which protects speech from being limited by the government.
Your T1 WIFI's actions, however, could violate Washington state's Net Neutrality law.
Your T1 WIFI said it decided to block Twitter and Facebook after the company received several calls from customers about both websites.
"It has come to our attention that Twitter and Facebook are engaged in censorship of our customers and information," an email to customers reads.
The service provider said the change would go into effect on Wednesday, Jan. 13.
In an email posted to Twitter by a customer, Krista Yep, the company says it was fielding calls from customers asking that the service not display the sites on the internet, and that they didn't want their children to be able to access them.
"Our company does not believe a website or social networking site has the authority to censor what you see and post and hide information from you, stop you from seeing what your friends and family are posting," the email reads. "This is why with the amount of concerns, we have made this decision to block these two websites from being accessed from our network."
The company did not specify what complaints customers had made.
Yep said she found the company's email to customers alarming.
"I was pretty shocked that they were just coming out and saying that," Yep said. "If it's not illegal, it's highly unethical."

Facebook and Twitter Cross a Line Far More Dangerous Than What They Censor

Just weeks before the election, the tech giants unite to block access to incriminating reporting about their preferred candidate.

I am sure Idahodians are going to sue to get back the fees they paid their provider to block what they said they wouldn't.

Twitter lost over 6 BILLION.

The message has been sent. Unfortunately for them they are leftists so the message, while CRYSTAL CLEAR, will be lost on them.

Northern Idaho...not Iowa. Not Illinois. Not Indiana.
The potatoes outnumber the residents.
Either way, I don't think anyone will be inconvenienced.

'The company did not specify what complaints customers had made' We know damn well who complained, Trump's cult who didn't like the idea of the Dear Leader being banned because of his incitement of the mob action at the Capitol Building.

Thank you. I believe we agree often?

Regardless of how large an audience this affects, it's a great day to be an American! This is the type of fighting back that counts-when people lose access to information it's censorship plain and simple and too much like book banning and burning. So what this is only one area in one state, it will be far from the last and I have no doubt similar actions are taking place over the states but are not getting much media attention. Shocker. Information should always be available and it's up to people to decide for themselves whether they want to listen/read or not.

Your T1 Wifi?

It sounds like they’re just going to drive their customers to AT&T.

Have fun with that.
