I am not happy about this. Let the market control the media.

Have you read the laws? The dispute is about whether an organization is a publisher, or a platform supporting content distribution. If they censor and edit according to a bias or political viewpoint, they are then considered to be a publisher and are then liable for lawsuits. As simply a content distributor (like telephone companies supplying a platform for communications free of censoring), they have protections provided by government.

Twitter broke the rules, and are now considered a publisher open to lawsuits because of their interference as a content distributor. The market is controlling the media; President Trump's action reaffirms this.

How did the breakdown of Ma Bellwork out? They are stronger than ever.

Look at the big picture.

Let the market place decide.
