Should Twitter and Facebook Be Regulated as Utilities?
- chambo622 10y agoPoor guy thinks a follower saying they don't see his tweets is an indicator of a vast conspiracy against him by a large corporation.
- jakeogh 10y agoNo. Better to let them fail.
- intopieces 10y ago>Realistically, can I quit Twitter and be a successful media personality without it? Not in today’s world. Total nonsequitor here. The constitution doesn't guarantee the right to be famous. Congress can't silence you, but it doesn't have to give you a megaphone. The Open Internet was supposed to be the megaphone.
- lbarrett 10y agoSo, deregulate ISPs, but regulate some sites on the internet? Sure, tha will lead to good outcomes for everyone.
- norea-armozel 10y agoSeriously? No. It doesn't take much skull sweat to figure out why this doesn't make any sense. First, social media sites are not monopolies nor utilities in the proper sense. Facebook bans don't affect you ability to get on Twitter. Twitter bans don't affect your ability to host a Wordpress site. And so on. Now, if Scott Adams has evidence of blackballing then he has a case for censorship but I haven't seen him make that case and I think he's not making that case because he knows he's not being blackballed (and that would show up under examination of any evidence presented).
