Why though? Why is Facebook and Whatsapp infrastructure... You will not die if you don't use the internet. You might die without power or water. The problem is the same people that support these laws.. do not want the internet to be treated like public utilities.
Also I agree ISP and internet connections should be a public utility just like telephone. Even though we had that whole ATT monopoly.
But websites are not utilities at all. They are stores. Are we now saying Walmart cant kick people out for screaming crazy stuff in there stores?

As for screaming crazy stuff, that'd be Disorderly Conduct. However, Walmart shouldn't be able to kick out people for, say, a private conversation they disagree with.
