"What you're missing in this analogy is that Trump Shipping is using Twitter Service.
for many years. Twitter Locomotive INC
>> What you're missing here is that Twitter is a company that owns engines. Not railroads. They use the railroads."
Yes, I get that part of your analogy
">> They are the boxcars, no one can see what's inside them, they just carry the data.
and cannot deny service to anyone even if their services are used to commit crimes."
No, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile are not like the boxcars. They are a much older format of shipping that predates the locomotive technology.
">> In this context, It is much harder to get rid of a group of low-profile companies (people) who fly under the radar, than one big company who requires the use of a lot of the locomotive's weight capacity (he's noticed more)"
BLM and Antifa are low-profile???
">> Provided that those companies do not violate the laws of their locomotive company they will continue to provide their services. That is capitalism. That is the free market. You call for small government, not big government and you want to dictate how businesses are run. Are you -SURE- you want to set that precedent? That is a very dangerous, slippery slope from which there is no returning."
No, I want them held to the standard of being neutral, open platforms that cannot deny anyone service, even if they are used to commit crimes, just as Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile are. The government doesn't tell those companies how to run their internal affairs, but they can't deny people service because of political disagreements or personal disliking. Twitter hates Trump because they feel he's a dictator, but the Ayatollah, Maduro, Erdoğan, the Arab monarchs, and the Chinese Communist Party are just fine under their worldview. Twitter feels that Trump incited a riot at the Capitol building, which they feel was an act of sedition, but BLM and Antifa looting and burning property that had nothing to do with the incident they were upset about, as well as establishing an independent anarcho-communist state on US soil were just "peaceful protests".
Amazon agrees that Twitter holds the correct, infallible worldview, so when a great deal of people who disagree with Twitter's infallible worldview started moving to another platform, Amazon decided that that heretical platform cannot be allowed to continue to exist.
