“When this case comes before The Supreme Court, they will lose.”

So, you want legislation from the Bench that will dictate to private companies the manner in which they must conduct their business?

I favor a market approach.

If the consumer does not like the editorial polices of Facebook and Twitter, the consumer can elect not to use Facebook or Twitter.

If the shareholders object to the editorial polices of Facebook and Twitter, those shareholders can dump their shares.

Investors can then refuse to buy Facebook and Twitter stock.

At that point, the values of those companies will plummet and they will fire their Boards or Directors and then change their editorial polices.

I respect that. I just think they are too big and powerful for that to work. It would be like trying to boycott a utility company.
