Twitter, FaceBook et al have moved into the realm of the public domain needing regulatory oversight and control.

Imagine your phone company or your electric company deciding your religion or politics were not sharia friendly. So they canceled you.

I hope Nunes wins this lawsuit.

I hardly ever advocate regulating anything, ever. This is a clear case however. We can't have our fate and future controlled from California tech campuses.

Twitter will probably respond that it does not charge for using its service, so they can be as biased as they like. And there is probably a legal maze in the agreement you check when you sign up. I don't like twitter, but this lawsuit has some hurdles to clear.

If I was never paying them for their services in the first place I wouldn't have much to complain about.
