so is it ok for a telephone company to cut your line if you support the resistance?
- scarface74 4y agoYes because the phone company is a natural monopoly. Twitter isn’t.
- plandis 4y agoTelephone companies are common carriers (AFAIK) and have additional rules they must follow. Twitter is not.
- yesco 4y agoLooks like it does now
- starik36 4y agoWhat about grocery stores? What if they declare that they won't sell you anything because your viewpoint is different from theirs? Surely groceries are not common carriers?
- themitigating 4y agoWhat if a baker doesn't like your view...oh
- themitigating 4y agoIs it ok for them to cut my line if I don't pay the bill? They are common carriers, like ISPs , social media companies are not
- leereeves 4y agoAre ISPs considered common carriers right now? I know that's changed a few times and I haven't kept up with the latest. Will social media companies be considered common carriers? That's still possible too. Ultimately, a "common carrier" is whatever the government says it is.
- themitigating 4y agoYes so change that then come back and make your argument. The 1st amendment can also be undone but I'm not making arguments as if that had happened

- LegitShady 4y agoIt sounds like texas already has legislation that regulates that, and so doesn't need to go and come back
- themitigating 4y agoBeing challenged and could be overturned.
- cdash 4y agoWell, according to Texas. They are now.
- diydsp 4y agoSocial media are broadcasters and publishers. Phone companies are 1 to 1.
