I always have. Glad to see you do now.

I almost want to ask… did you write this as a joke?

So what are you going on about?

Property rights.

The motivation and pressure are a bit of a problem.

I’m not in that camp. Businesses need to be regulated. That includes Twitter and Facebook. I just don’t think this new found ā€œDigital Inquisitionā€ battle cry is going to work.

Twitter, like walmart, can kick people out of their ā€œstoreā€ due to simply being a disturbance. Twitter bans bots for being a disturbance.

Bots are persons?

A disturbance to what?

We know what the country looks like when those classes aren’t protected. That’s a pretty compelling reason.

What do you envision if the currently disgruntled crowd gets what they want on social media?

I don’t see any way politicians allow this to stand. Wait until some democrats get the ban hammer.

Is it?

Envision? What do you envision if one bakery gets what it wants on Main Street?

They are developed and deployed by persons.

Why do you think they would?

Their service. Customer complaints… neighbors complaints

So is everything. A degree of separation matters or no?

Because it is going to look really bad if they don’t.

Is that what’s happening? Is that the stated reason?

You are assuming hypocrisy will shame them; it won’t. The double standard is justified due to The Cause. Equity. Fight Fascism.

I’m a registered democrat and I’m still on Twitter. If I get banned, it won’t be for my politics. No one has.

Not in the digital world.

If I deploy a bot that posts ā€œ#MAGA2020ā€ a million times a minute. Twitter will ban that account. It’s degrading their service.

If I opened the account that is ran by a bot… of course I am liable.

I don’t know if it is in every case but it’s a reason that I am not sure you can regulate to keep.
