Perhaps more people need to get banned off Twitter so more people are working on decentralizing things before it's too late and the government steps in, makes it a public utility, and makes decentralized version of the internet and social media illegal
Companies answer to money. Piss off enough people, that money goes away.... Unless its money from taxes. Aka the government
Honestly, social media is a cancer.
Nad I agree they answer to money but people are stupid
They’re happy to surrender their security and freedom for ease of use

A company cannot suppress a human right. Unless they force you to use their service.
Someone they don’t like gets banned and they cheer... not realising that what they’re cheering for is a precedence of privatised tyranny.
Last I checked, no one forced me to use twitter.
You’re missing the point
What? That if I make something popular enough you want to take away my ownership of it and hand it to he government?
>Advocate a society without rules
>Ban someone for breaking the rules
No one forced you to use the public square in the day either but it was left untouched so if you wanted to you could
The thing is about twitter.
If you're an entrepreneur trying to create/promote/crowdfund ANYTHING, everyone and their dog will tell you to get a twitter.
It was owned by the government, and as such we put restrictions on the government.
"Social media bro. Social media bro."
"That's where it's at bro"
They ruled that Trumps Twitter was a public space but ban people from Twitter for vague non things like hate speech
I despise twitter. I think it's a shit service that turns people into cannibals.
But in order to put restrictions on a private company, you need to strip away restrictions on the government
But to pretend these things are anything short of ubiquitous, is silly.
If a company is in bed with, taking money from or getting assistance from the government
Private companies are not supposed to be this ubiquitous.
They should be treated as a government organisation
So the whole corn and oil industry?
And thus abide by the same rules.. ie the first amendment
As long as the companies remain American companies
I would rather they stop receiving government funding
They're not even abiding by american principles.
I agree
"Yeah yeah, freedom of speech.. But that's more of a GOVERNMENT thing.."
Rather than say "oh yeah government, you pay for it... So just take it over entirely"
"We're just.. citizens of that country. We can be outlandishly different from those values and it's fine. It's all fine."
I also wish they were not in cahoots with each other in coordinated unpersoning of people they don’t like
But we can’t have what we want
Twitter should at least have to tell you WHICH TWEET GOT YOU BANNED.
Oppress enough people, they will find themselves missing their heads.
How's that for a start?
I wish their vague TOS weren’t complete fucking garbage and people could talk freely online
Just telling the reason for a banning.
