Facebook and Twitter, the argument goes, have the same right not to provide a platform to views they find objectionable.
True.
But they do not have a right to the protections we grant common carriers, with respect to the content they carry.
The phone company cannot be sued for the content they carry, because they're a common carrier, and have no control or responsibility for the content.
If Facebook is going to take control of the content they carry - and they have - they should be responsible for the content, and they should have their common carrier protections removed.
Amen!
