<><><>Can Instagram and Facebook and Twitter simply refuse service to someone?
<><><>I don’t think a person has a right to access these platforms.
<><><> Those that do, do so under their rules.

Twitter CEO Dorsey is starting to sound paranoid. Maybe he’s heard from the SEC?

NOTE These social media platforms are not private businesses——these are publicly-held companies subject to SEC laws.
They raise money from the public and are traded on the stock exchange,

They “say” they are common carriers-—like planes, trains, cabs, buses........

Twitter is not a common carrier-——it is a publicly-held company subject to the laws of the SEC.

To report your concerns about Twitter censoring Trump:
email .... enforcement@SEC.gov

Some insist on likening Trump’s concerns as if it were govt interference in private businesses. Pres Trump, as the Executive, is responsible for enforcing the law. He is also given latitude to not enforce the law, at his discretion. So he would possibly be able to decide to no longer enforce the law for Twitter or Facebook.

I’m not sure about what going with these companies they are certainly making money. They are also doing some form of broadcasting over public airways by satellite like radio and TV and what happens on those frequencies are very strictly regulated by the FCC ask any ham radio operator or commercial Radio or TV station.If they are are using those frequencies to influence/favor certain political parties and harm others this could be very interesting.
