If you are a conservative cheering this on, ask yourself what you think would have happened when Trump was using Twitter as a platform to raise questions about Obama’s birth certificate? Do you really want the government to be effectively regulating the treatment of every social media post as they see fit?
- throwawaysea 6y agoI think requiring viewpoint neutrality via regulation from platforms that behave like utilities is perfectly reasonable.
- tehwebguy 6y agoIn what ways is Twitter like a utility?
- akvadrako 6y agoI wouldn’t say utility but the courts ruled recently it’s a public forum; the same logic applies.
- tehwebguy 6y agoWhat courts? What does “public forum” mean legally? I don’t think what you are saying has actually happened and would appreciate a link but I think there is none. So again, in what way is Twitter even slightly possibly like a utility?
