- pyrale 6y ago> Twitter is a private company enforcing their terms of service. Being a private company has never meant you're allowed to rule as you wish on your turf. I believe the history of company towns in the US provides plenty of reasons for that. While platforms can't really be compared to company towns, social networks now constitute an essential part of where public discourse happens, and I don't believe it would be too hard for Europe to make a case that public interest requires regulation and oversight.

- golemiprague 6y agoThat's exactly what they are trying to change, the rules that applied to twitter like private companies and rightfully so. Nobody claims that what they did was illegal, but they want to make it illegal, the same way discrimination based on race became illegal after years it was legal.
