In another thread we were discussing what Trump and the Republicans are after with the lawsuit against Twitter, and their desire to "crack down" on social media.

I'm not calling out bri here, just wondering if that's a general consensus. Should we require businesses to treat everyone equally and impartially?

Private businesses can refuse to serve ANYONE but they can be SUED if they do it because of personal beliefs and/or prejudices.

What kind of world would it be if we allowed discrimination?
If a restaurant can deny service due to political affiliation, then how about judge, cops, doctor, etc.?

Just like with progressive income tax rates.

?

But it seems like you are now saying that some discrimination is ok, that it shouldn't all be illegal. Is that correct?
