So you want a more authoritarian government to clamp down on what businesses can and cannot do? Seems contrary to the freedom everyone on this website seems to be enamoured with. I’d expect private enterprises (emphasis on the word private) to be able to do just about whatever they want with their businesses in a “free” system.

No, I want the public square to be operated by and for the public. Twitter is squatting on the public cyberspace and I think it’s about time that the government stepped in and told them that if they want to monetize free speech, that they have to uphold free speech and cannot manipulate the environment unilaterally. I know that “public cyberspace” is a weird phrase and hard to parse. I’m referring to the graph of communications between citizens of a country and between countries. In the US, this is a protected space, protected by our Constitution.
