I don't think conservative voices should be silenced on Twitter but you can't go around dictating how private businesses operate. This is a really bad slippery slope to go down.

I am very much on topic, you just don't like my reply. Social media platforms want to curate content like publishers while also receiving the safe harbor protection from liabilities as a public platform. They can't have it both ways.

They're not having it both ways. Moderation is allowed by the same law that provides the protection. They're not creating the content themselves.

I thought the left liked regulation. I guess they only like it when they are doing the regulating.

I know it takes a lot of effort for you to stay on topic so if you're unable to do it please start a REEEEEEEEE: THE LEFT SENSOR SHIPS TRUMP thread.

Trump is the one threatening to regulate social media and he's speaking on behalf of the Republicans. Do you support regulating and/or closing down Twitter? How about Bitcointalk? Should we only post pro-Trump stuff here just so that he doesn't decide to shut us down too?

Joe Rogan didn't like Youtube regulation. He is moving his multimillion viewers over to Spotify.

If people like regulation, they might be regulated out of existence. This means that if we don't like regulation, it's time we regulate the regulators out of existence.

Cool

Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservative voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen.

That's right, let's close down businesses we don't like, fuck the constitution and all its amendments. A wonderful caricature of what the Republican party used to stand for... pretended to stand for... something like that.

Edit May 28: Trump has signed an executive order aimed at creating regulations for social media: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-preventing-online-censorship/
