Twitter is not a Public Utility. It will NEVER be a public utility.trump does not care about this country. He only cares about himself and his petty revenge. He blames everyone else for his loses, but jumps to the front of the line to take credit for anything that he does not screw up.You wouldn't be able to post here if Section 230 were deleted.
They don't care. They're willing to destroy the nation, to obliterate the Constitution, in the name of partisan "victory". This is what Trump does to people.
Doesn't matter.
I don't like Trump either, but the precedent censoring any valid politician from social media, is and must always remain horrendously illegal.
The whole point of the 1st amendment is to protect speech you do NOT like.
The fact this every happened is astounding.
FaceBook should be facing huge fines to ensure it never happens again.
If someone wants to correct lies by Trump, the appropriate and only legal way is in court, not by arbitrary censorship.
Twitter is not a public utility
Isn’t it a bit strange that the entire world has to wait on the CEO of Twitter to come around on what constitutes healthy discourse? I am not talking about it being too little, too late. Rather, my issue is with “instant, public, global messaging and conversation” being entirely dependent on one...blog.joinmastodon.org
Totally and completely irrelevant.
The Internet is a public utility, so anyone using it for their own person gain, like Twitter, then has to follow the FCC rules that prevent any sort of discrimination that would infringe upon first amendment rights.
If Twitter wants to arbitrarily discriminate in its clients, then it can not legally use the internet.
In fact, it can't even be open to the public or operate on any channel open to the public.
What Twitter did was completely illegal.
The appropriate procedure would have been for Twitter to sue Trump if they think he was harming others.
Arbitrary censorship was NOT the right or legal way to handle it.
