I know the “private enterprise” argument. But we now live in a digital world where cyberspace is in many ways the same as geography. Twitter, Google, Facebook, even Amazon are the new town squares and malls.

I know there is the sippery slope of government deciding Internet rules, but cyberspace is now weaponized by the Left.

Big difference there. Are they a town square or a mall? I say that they are malls, and malls have owners who set rules for the public use of the space. Likewise, a store inside the mall sets the rules for public use of that space.

I agree with you that the Left has weaponized cyberspace. Look at us. We’re hiding out in a 20 year old message board forum that is a comfortable and safe space for us to preach to the choir. Imagine if all the great Conservative minds of FR suddenly entered Twitter as an invading force instead of sitting around the digital equivalent of some little VFW post on a road that was bypassed by the highway 25 years ago, sipping our beer and bitching about how it used to be.

It is interesting that the internet was invented to move atomic bomb secrets quickly from lab to lab so America could fight the Commies and now the Commies have weaponized that against us.

In a war the left will lose.
