That's why twitter should be free to choose.  If the public doesn't like their favorite accounts being banned, twitter will fail and another platform will arise.

Yes, in a perfect world with a perfect free market economic system, you would be correct.

I'm correct in this system.  Twitter is now.  In 10 years, it'll be irrelevant.  This shit comes and goes so fast in the internet age that no company can afford to alienate large groups of people.  Maybe Parler will become the next big thing.  Probably not, but maybe. 

If it's really a big problem, the Federal government could very easily create a social media platform.  It wouldn't cost that much, and anyone could use it without fear of censorship.

So is it a public forum or a private forum?

Like it or not social media is the new public commons, being banned from any of those platforms is a serious socioeconomic disadvantage. I’m all for deplatforming fascists like trump, but the public should be deciding these things, not Jack and mark zuckerberg.



It's a public forum.  That's why Twitter should not be forced to store, maintain, and publish speech that its owners don't agree with.  That would be repugnant to the First Amendment.  It would be no different than making you hold a Trump sign every time you go to the park.

If the government wants to make a social media website, I'm all for that.  Forcing a private one to say what the government deems important is not something that I will ever support.





Nah we should just nationalize them, they’re too intrinsic to the human experience at this point to be controlled by private interests for profit. Same argument I make for the airlines.

That's fine.  The government can buy twitter for fair market value as a "taking."  I'm sure stockholders would be fine with that.

There are plenty of other options that would serve for people to express themselves. Instagram. Facebook. Are people outraged that Instagram doesn’t allow nudity, but twitter allows hardcore porn? Isnt instagram violating someone’s free speech?

Nothing about ones right to free speech implies they have a right to a platform.

twitter and facebook are private companies and can censor anyone they wish.

donald trump is the president of the usa. if he has something to say, he can easily do it at the podium, uncensored, with hundreds of cameras rolling.

No, it wouldn't be the same, because people understand that whoever makes a Twitter post or holds a sign in public is the responsible for that content of that.

No.  Not "Forcing a private one to say what the government deems important".  Allowing private citizens to say whatever they want without being censored (again, provided they are not inciting violence, etc).

Hey wooof!  Welcome back, it's great to see you again!!!  I really missed you here.  You were one of the smart ones who predicted the Russia hoax and other such nonsense.

I asked anyone to post what Trump said that called for a coup, and the best people could come up with was he called for a protest at the capitol.  Maybe you can show me how Trump called for a violent takeover?  At least something more obvious than what HamHead posted, which nobody seemed too concerned about:
