Doesn't this claim imply that the speech on twitter is in fact twitters speech? And that therefore forcing them to allow specific speech allows to forced speech? But in that case, shouldn't they be held liable?
Does this also apply to ISPs?

Aren't people who favor regulation for telecom providers but not platforms also hypocritical then?
- msie 6y agoTelecom providers are treated differently than Twitter and Facebook because they are essential utilities whereas the latter are not. Plus telecom providers have been enjoying govt support in the case of public resources (land use and radio frequency rights) in order to provide this public service. This govt support can be taken away.
