I don’t see anyone here I disagree thinking conservatives being banned today on twitter and YouTube should have the right to say what they say. Do you?

To use the hypothetical you, I agree you have the right to say what you want to say, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let you on my roof to shout it.

If you lived in a public building you’d have to.

That’s why I said they need to break them up, or make them abide by the same rules and regulations that news outlets abide by.

I heard his name mentioned the other day. He handled one of the CNN goon squad reporters pretty well the other day. He's hated by the left cause he refused to shut down Florida and they've been stalking him ever since.

Don't know much about him, but my parents are in Florida and said pre covid he had like 98% approval rating.

All it takes is one dem realizing that's an absolutely terrible idea if he tries

I mean more that as it stands now it would need to break a filibuster.

Yeah, but Twitter is more akin to a house than a public building. Even if I don't necessarily like them kicking people off.

I have a feeling that we're going to be hearing Joe Manchin's name a lot. He'll be bringing home the bacon for years to come for the fine people of WV.

They are a public accomadation. They cannot pick and choose who they serve

They’re still a private company.

I think there is an argument to be made that they could be classified as a “utility” given the way they’re so broadly used to disseminate information. However, at this point, they’re still a private company and thusly not subject to government oversight and regulations.

I think Jack Dorsey is a scumbag, but I’m not sure I want government - especially people like AOC - telling private companies what they can or cannot do.
