That private businesses can keep people off of their properties?
clearly it’s more than that. these companies are more than just private companies they are social utilities. and might be regulated as such in the future. that’s my point.

#63If no tv network will carry his remarks live, and no social network will give him a posting account, then he has no way of communicating with the American people and it seems pretty difficult to make the case that he is able to carry out his duties.

#69This will kill twitter the only reason I had a twitter account was to view your presidents tweets.
If he moves on to parlour he'll take an awful lot of people with him and then twitter has no power at all to controll the narative.
