Twitter deserves a fate worse than the one Fox News is experiencing.

We are in a tough situation in regard to the censorship of speech in this country, even if we could shoot a ray of "reasonableness" at the insane politicians...it is difficult to know what a good policy would be.

Here are the basic facts as far as I see it.

A) We do not want to communication platforms to be responsible for speech on them.

B) It is very desirable for communication platforms to take precautions to stop things like child pornography and terrorist plots etc.

C) The edge of what is desirable to prohibit is subjective, and those that have the power to prohibit some kinds of things can abuse it to political ends and other nefarious purposes.

D) The trend to prohibit more than they should for bad purposes grows and grows the more used to prohibiting the platform gets and the more comfortable they are going from just bias maybe not on purpose. To bias where they should know better but are not honest with themselves, to institutional extreme bias and now even propaganda.

E) Platforms like twitter that are so monopolistic in their space have way too much power, and abuse it way too much such that it is morally and practically imperative it be stopped.

F) Having the government control what gets prohibited itself may be no better. It may be worse.

So it is a pretty terrible place we are in. The only way out I see is that if we do not have monopolies. A monopoly on communication whether by a small number of companies or by a government agency is just asking for a propagandized public.

We absolutely seem to need a combined public space where platforms are combined in an ecosystem controlled by a wide range of people with different views...or we are screwed.

Twitter is a self-evidently childish waste of time, and it always has been. The people who run it lose their power to make you unhappy when you close your account and refuse to look at it again.

Politicians in Europe are very upset. What i hear is that they are working on legislatures to reign on the oligarchs.
I heard that e.g. somebody could be banned from the internet only by court decision. Breaking up the oligarch. Etc. Etc.
First time it looks like maybe the the European politicians could save us from our neomaxist oligarchs.

So you all realize that what he is saying is they he is to be feared. He understands that it’s frightening to do what they did, while defending doing it. His message needs to be clearly under.

He is threatening all of us.

Don’t use these communist led sites.

These people are censors and are an arm of the democrat party.

Drop them if you have any sense.

He very likely violated federal antitrust laws. Those laws have a criminal component.

Also, he can be required to disgorge billions of dollars in his personal wealth for having violated the law.

He needs to be punished.
