    Oh the irony of that statement. :Roflmao

    You should convince every conservative you know to leave Twitter and Facebook.

    I as well. Do you believe the government should force Twitter to allow BLM and neo-Nazi groups on their platform? Has twitter been made a public utility?

    I see we are still allowed to comment here. Wow. Privilege.

    American Thinker has disabled comments. Frankly, I never visited there for the comments, but for their well reasoned articles. Now however, after acquiescing to the rulers & disabling their people, they showed their true loyalty was to themselves. People are leaving in droves. Do you honestly think that giving up their comment section to silence the people will make the rulers happy in the end? No. In the end they will be slain anyway, but they will be slain without dignity or respect. Today, they are allowing comments again, but it may be too late to hang on to the respect that took many years to build. Food for thought.

    Not yet, but the Bell System wasn't a public utility until it was. AT&T built the communication infrastructure, but they don't get a say in how it's used. Think of the cable companies. Etc.

    Your question isn't the real question, because the issue isn't BLM and Antifa. The question is, when is the actions of a private enterprise an undo imposition on the liberty of the public.

    But at the same time, if Twitter is not yet a public utility then your question also was not the real question. I do not see how Twitter can be compared to AT&T (by law it is not....yet....a news outlet, it is not necessary for communication, it does not offer direct communication as it is more of a board, etc.).

    I did answer your question, even though I considered it not relevant, because I realized that it was to you.

    I'm just asking your opinion of how this would look in the macro. Do you believe that the government should force Twitter to extend it's platform to hate groups like BLM and neo-Nazi organizations?
