Good, government needs to leave private companies alone as long as they are not breaking laws.

If you the public don't like what a private company is legally doing, for fricks sakes stop using that company.

Who says for sure they aren't? Would an investigation not determine that?

I totally forgot that private companies are typically cloaked in legislative immunity and granted special governmental protections. Who'd-a-thunk.

GTFO. They are functioning as publishers and are censoring certain viewpoints yet they claim they are simply platforms for free speech.

Shut the frick up. If Parler was huge and was censoring liberals you’d be all about the government shutting them down.

Twitter is technically a public company, and also receives 230 protection amongst others from another govt that it shouldn’t.

Many of these companies were also allowed to buy out competition to help internet flourish, and are now taking advantage of that with politics they support and that supports them as well as by colluding to force out competition and diversity of thought.

If Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter to a smaller extent don’t like you how are you going to advertise, sale apps, host and run a website, and so on to compete with those that aren’t cancelled by them. That’s only free market to those who believe Obamacare’s market place is an example of a free market.

They are too big to need any type of govt protection. They need to be broken up or forced to sell off parts, but again they definitely shouldn’t be protected or have govt contracts. They basically print their own money using stock to make purchases. They shutdown social media of the standing President of the US and a competing social media company even though Facebook was used more by people breaching capital. I doubt they would have done so if Georgia senate races hadn’t both been won by Democrats. It wasn’t about capital, but Democrats getting both houses and Presidency and being unchecked.

Who majorly funded and/or founded ARPANET, NSFNET, Merit Network (with a state), DARPA, CSNET, ESNET, FIXes, IETF, IANA, ICANN, DNS, ARIN, and other key parts and developers of the internet?

It wasn’t Jack, Mark, Tim, or whoever running Google/Alphabet now. They shouldn’t have that much power over internet now to effectively cancel based on politics.

It’s not like they have ethical high ground or best interests of country. Apple is as far up China’s arse as Tim usually gets it himself.
