The sad thing is that so many people are cheering for this Authoritarianism. Telling ya', Wetiko.
Twitter is a private company my dude. This is no different than TDW, Reddit, or -- for that matter -- us banning users.
Shut the fuck up. Just shut the fuck up with the private company shit.
I'm sorry that you don't like facts.
private companies can deny service to anyone... except A,B,C... LGBTQ ... X,Y,Z
They function now as a means for government and social services to communicate with people. The same way you “need” a phone to get a job, you “need” The use those sites to get the most efficient communication with things like USGS, emergency alerts, local Law enforcement, govt officials and until recently potus.
They can’t function that like that and still cut people off. Ever tried to contact local govt or even conduct business like refunds on a website vs on Social media? It’s like sending a raven with a written scroll vs talking directly them.
They want to be a place to say “I had pizza for dinner yolo”, fine. Ban whoever. You want to be the first and most widespread network to tell people their local water isn’t safe or their volcanos gonna blow, you’re government and everyone has a right to that info.
