In some people's opinion, this massively used *PUBLIC* communications system belongs to a *PRIVATE* corporation, so they have a right to *DICTATE* what *PUBLIC* speech is permitted.

Ain't that right Semimojo?

On their privately-owned platforms? Of course it's right.

As for me, i'm ready to smash all private "property" rights when it comes to mass communications.

We know.

..if you are in the communications business, you *WILL* comply with Constitutional law regarding freedom of speech.

No argument from me.

Not any more. I reject that claim. It can be their "private" property, only so long as significant portions of the public do not use it.

They want to keep control? Do not carry public traffic. *NOBODY* has a right to censor the public, and I don't care if they own the equipment or not.
