If ATT and Verizon own the platform of cell towers and infrastructure, should they be allowed to censor what you say via text message or voice call?

This is essentially what net neutrality debate was all about.

They should forfeit any and all tax advantages they enjoy as a platform.

Tiktok wasn't a thing until recently and now it's fricken enormous. I don't want to hear any garbage about not being able to make it.

Also screw you for trying to hurt my 401k. Big tech is keeping it in the green.

You police the content, not the means of delivery. They fact check and ban stuff all the time for violating guidelines.

Their house, their rules. No idea why folks struggle with this concept, while supporting the place they allegedly hate with more clicks.

if Twitter receive tax advantages that other similar platforms do not, then yes, they should absolutely forfeit those if they are going censor, as they are no longer part of the free market

I have no idea if they do or do not

Well yeah BitChute would delete stuff like child porn and gory murder stuff, not videos with citizens saying “Vote for Trump, here’s why you should”.

what kind of consequences Should they face?


Be treated as a publisher and not a platform. If they are choosing to allow certain viewpoints but not others, they should be held liable for the content of their platform.

You should mosey on over to the political board, specifically the Q thread. Tell them that their conspiracy theory isn't good for mankind and see how long your post lasts. Should TD be banned and Chicken fined for "censoring" speech?

It is a very interesting discussion. If you take steps to actively moderate content, to what extent can you do this and be exempt from lawsuits regarding libel an slander on material posted to your website.
