Twitter, and all other social media, are places of public accommodation, no different from a restaurant or hotel. As such they should not be allowed by law from having discriminatory rules based on any protected class or idea. It is beyond time for these platforms to be held to the same standards that we held other places of public accommodation to during the civil rights movement.

>As such they should not be allowed by law from having discriminatory rules based on any protected class or idea. Pretty sneaky, but there are no "protected ideas" equivalent to the legal definition of a protected class, apart from ideas being protected against discrimination by the government in the First Amendment, so Twitter moderating content is not equivalent to racial or other protected class discrimination. Twitter is held to the same standard as other private businesses in that regard. Hotels and restaurants are also allowed to refuse service to you and even eject you from the premises if they don't like your behavior.
