I’m not defending Twitter. Only the government can deny first amendment rights.

I realize you’re trying to say a public business cannot deny
people Constitutional rights, but that is exactly what
happened.

Countless voices went silent on Twitter.

I do see that as an infraction of our rights.

I realize there are limitations to this, but in the overall
scheme of things, voices are Twitter’s whole business.

I can’t expect to go into a restaurant and scream out any
bloody thing I want, but that’s not what is taking place
on Twitter.

That is a place where people should have the right to say
anything they want, as long as it isn’t vulgar, slandering
a private person, or making physical threats.

By saying the Government is the only place that can deny
our rights, you are signing on businesses like Twitter
colluding with others to lock out any of our beliefs from
being aired.

Do you believe that civil rights amendments are only valid
when the government is involved? So you believe businesses
can do anything they like to Blacks, because they are not
a part of the government?

If you disagree with my other post to you on this topic,
please tell me why.

There may be a very good come-back, and I’m interested in
hearing it.
