“This is a tough one. These are private companies that in theory should be able to delete or ban him at will. No different than FR. If they want to be liberal, conservatives need an alternative.”

Someone quoted Mike Huckabee earlier as comparing these social media companies to the phone company. What if the phone company was using a filter so if you said something unacceptable over the phone lines they cut off your call and cancelled your account? Wouldn’t that be comparable to what Facebook / Twitter / YouTube are doing now? That wouldn’t be tolerated... why should this?

Well, I guess FR should never be allowed to ban liberals again. And DU conservatives. I’m not a fan of government meddling in what private companies do.
