> surely you must recognize that you are likely in the minority of e-mail users? No, I don't recognize that. Citation needed. > didn't trump's twitter platform get banned from all the common cloud providers? is it that much more ridiculous to think that they would be unable to colo with anyone? I don't know, but as to your last question, yes, that's ridiculous, as there are thousands of datacenters out there. Besides, Trump's twitter platform is not a person. It's a business with many more resources than the the vast majority of individuals have. It's dangerous to start from the principle that this organization should have the same rights as a natural person. > two or three, really. and many areas in the US are limited to one or two. You're talking about mobile providers. I specifically mentioned mobile and VoIP and you cut that part out. I'm done here as you don't seem to be willing to have an honest discussion.

> No, I don't recognize that. Citation needed. fair enough. finding data wasn't easy. the best i could get that is somewhat related was this article from 2015 on teenage communication habits, which states that around 6% of teens use e-mail to communicate daily with their friends[1] (making it the least used form of communication). and this is pre-tiktok, so i'd expect this number to have decreased. > Besides, Trump's twitter platform is not a person. indeed, but the people using probably were. not that that's important: constitutionally, corporations have the same protections as people, indeed the US legal fiction of corporate personhood is practically a meme now. from [2]: > Since the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission in 2010, upholding the rights of corporations to make unlimited political expenditures under the First Amendment [...] so it appears the supreme court agrees that free-speech protections apply to corporations. > yes, that's ridiculous, as there are thousands of datacenters out there. well then, where is the site now? > I specifically mentioned mobile and VoIP and you cut that part out. apologies, i presumed you understood that the IP in VoIP indicates that an internet connection is required for the voice to go over, and that without a mobile service provider, that could be.. logistically challenging :) > I'm done here as you don't seem to be willing to have an honest discussion. :/ ok then, i guess.
