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.
Iām not in that camp. Businesses need to be regulated. That includes Twitter and Facebook. I just donāt think this new found āDigital Inquisitionā battle cry is going to work.
Twitter, like walmart, can kick people out of their āstoreā due to simply being a disturbance. Twitter bans bots for being a disturbance.

We know what the country looks like when those classes arenāt protected. Thatās a pretty compelling reason.
What do you envision if the currently disgruntled crowd gets what they want on social media?

I donāt see any way politicians allow this to stand. Wait until some democrats get the ban hammer.

Bots are persons?
They are developed and deployed by persons.

Why do you think they would?

WuWei:
A disturbance to what?
Their service. Customer complaints⦠neighbors complaints

Because it is going to look really bad if they donāt.

You are assuming hypocrisy will shame them; it wonāt. The double standard is justified due to The Cause. Equity. Fight Fascism.

Iām a registered democrat and Iām still on Twitter. If I get banned, it wonāt be for my politics. No one has.
Not in the digital world.
If I deploy a bot that posts ā#MAGA2020ā a million times a minute. Twitter will ban that account. Itās degrading their service.
If I opened the account that is ran by a bot⦠of course I am liable.

I donāt know if it is in every case but itās a reason that I am not sure you can regulate to keep.
