What's the point in saying "private company"
Different rules, laws, regulations, etc. apply to private sector vs public sector.
Specifically in this case, OP is implying that a theoretical public sector social network wouldn't be allowed to block linking to mastodon because of the second (EDIT: no, wait, first amendment!) amendment, but that Twitter is well within its rights since they are in the private sector. Whether that's true or not, I dunno.
- lapcat 4y ago> OP is implying that a theoretical public sector social network I dispute that the OP was implying or even thinking anything about a theoretical public sector social network.
- dfxm12 4y agoOK.
- lapcat 4y agoWhy wouldn't a theoretical public sector social network have the right to block any links that the government wanted to block?
- dfxm12 4y agoI know I mistakingly had the second amendment written as the reasoning in my previous post when you had replied, but I meant the first amendment. Like I said, I don't know how far the first amendment would or wouldn't apply in this situation. In any case, it would likely have to be tested in court.
