Twitter may be a monopoly but it is not a state-sanctioned one. We do not need a government solution to this.

I am not opposed to anti-trust actions. Once you realize that mammoth corporations work hand in glove with mammoth government, the dismemberment and regulation of such makes sense. In this case, Twitter is, in effect, acting on behalf of the Democrat party. They are no longer just an innocent big business looking to make a profit.

Making them utilites with communications responsiblities similar to telephony would solve many problems. They would have no responsiblitiy for content and users would pay for use and buy specific blockers..

So what? That doesn’t justify government intrusion into the private sector.

If enough people reject Fakebook and demand becomes great enough for qn alterative, one will emerge. The free market works.
