> Twitter is not a fundamental right
Before Musk bought Twitter there were plenty of people arguing on here that in the age of the internet Twitter and places like it are essential as forums of public discourse, and access to them should be as unlimited as possible.
Twitter refusing bans and continuing operations in a hostile country was some people's wet dream just a couple years ago. I guess it's a lesson to be careful what you wish for.
- rbanffy 2y agoComplaints were about presidents blocking people so they wouldn’t see their postings. That’s a fair complaint. When there is no other venue to communicate or to get informed about things vital to them, it is perfectly fair to complain about that. In this specific case, Twitter doesn’t provide an essential service and, if it did, that’d need to be regulated and forced to provide services in an equitable and fair way.
