Should your auto insurance company be able to ban you from getting insurance simply because they do not like your politics? Should your electric company decide that as a conservative you no longer will get their services?

Along the same lines, should any private company deny your basic constitutional right to freedom of speech?

This is why Twitter and Facebook must be regulated.

See tagline. For many months I have been outlining how Hillary will win in November. Part of the plan has always involved the unregulated abuses of Twitter and Facebook.

Twitter is trying to fact check the president? Of course they are. That is just one step closer to their ultimate goal which is banning him. Fortunately for us, this is backfiring in their faces.

Yes, private companies have the right to deny you freedom of speech. Companies do it all the time and it has been upheld by the courts over and over and over.

It seems little understood that freedom of speech, censorship, etc applies only to the government, not to private companies.

Well the Internet is getting very, very, very close to being declared a “Utility”.

Especially now, with many more people working from home.

This would give the government a whole hellhole of control!
