“There will be no call to regulate them as a Public Utility, which Trump should have done.”

Yup. A breakup sure tamed Ma Bell’s excesses, but it doesn’t happen by itself.

So, you are saying that because Twitter, a commercial entity that is legally obligated to preserve shareholder value, took steps to enforce its own rules, that the federal government should interfere with the free market so drastically as to regulate how they spend and make money? Where I come from, that's called a "planned economy" and is a hallmark of socialism. Ask the average Venezuelan how that's working out for them at the moment.

Moreover, the First Amendment applies to the government telling you what you can and cannot say, not the behavior of private corporations. Flynn and Powell can join Parler and let market competition settle the matter. I thought that was how capitalism was supposed to work in America?

Cry me a river, I don’t care. You’re welcome to wipe Jack Dorsey’s tears off his cheeks if you want, though.
