Imagine if Bell Telephone Company disconnected the phones to every house that made a call to the local Richard Nixon campaign in 1960.

Imagine if Comcast disconnected the cable service to every home that never watches CNN, Bravo, Oprah Network, and BET, but always watches Fox News, Westerns, police dramas, and war movies.

Imagine if Hertz refused to rent a car because their GPS records show the last time you rented, you drove to a conservative rally.

If Twitter and YouTube are deleting the accounts of users who are not abusing the product but simply using it to express personal opinions, then there is a major problem at these companies.

I'm going to suggest that these companies are seriously violating their personal data privacy regulations by examining the content of people's postings. It's one thing to say in their end-user agreements that they monitor content for malware, viruses, terrorism, and the like, but it crosses a privacy line to access personal data to purge users who post, not objectionable, but just disagreeable, content.

They should be *FORCED* to serve everyone who sits at their lunch counter.
