It’s time we make Twitter and Facebook public utilities!

Does Twitter need to become a public utility?

(RNS) — If Twitter really wants to be a neutral space for debate, it can't choose between Silicon Valley's progressive ideology and the religious commitments of Pope Francis.

I would hope when this happens that lawmakers don’t fold to succumb to their terms and conditions. Let free speech rein!
Facebook and Twitter don’t worry you will still make money allowing your sites become public utilities we can all express our political feelings. let’s get it done!

So we should become like China? I guess that would be "Redcurtain"'s hope.

They have free speech? I think you want us to be China .. don’t cha ..

You want the government to regulate free speech on social media. Just like China does.

No I want them to allow free speech China does not want Facebook to allow free speech lol are you on crack?

Governments wouldn't allow real free speech, get a grip.

So what’s the US Constitution

Something people point to only if it suits their cause of the moment.

They are not public utilities.

You cannot compare social media to telephone electric water and gas services.

Social media is not a necessary service.

You people need to realize that all social media sites are nothing but advertising space that people stupidly agree to subject themselves to.

Let's see - government taking over media in the name of free speech. Man, the Soviets had nuthin on us!

Why are you putting words in my mouth nobody said the governments taking over anything.. Regulating it like we do clean water

Sure. Just regulatin'. Got it.

I think one can make an argument about breaking these behemoths up. There is an argument that they are wielding too much power.

That's always the argument when socialists want to socialize something. Government is a jealous master. They want that power for the state.

Twitter and Facebook is a Trojan horse for China we can’t allow that to happen.. You might want to see America destroyed but I don’t

The People's Republic of America demands justice!

Another way social media is not like public utilities.

They are all free to the public.

Every other public utility is a fee for service product.

The government should buy MacDonalds and force them to serve the McRib year round. Then they should take over Starbucks and make them serve Pumpkin Spice Lattes year round. Oh this could be fun.

McDonalds and the like should be declared terrorist organizations. They kill more people than Al Qaeda

Yep. And now that Republicans have tilted socialist, there's very little preventing it.

No, you are just confiscating private property (whether the private owners make money is irrelevant). You have free speech. What you are demanding is free access to a privately owned property to use as a platform for your speech. And you want it for free.

And the owners want to decide what gets posted there. They have invested a lot of money and countless hours of their valuable time. You signed up for free and now demand to have an equal say in how the place is run? No.

If your followers love you, they will find a way to listen to you. You don't get to co-opt someone else's private property to do so.

What you misunderstand about the 1st amendment is that it does not guarantee you the right to take over someone's property just because they have a better platform for spreading your words than you do. The purpose of the 1st amendment is to prevent the government from taking away your right to express your opinions.

You can be prevented from carrying a firearm onto private property. You can be prevented from peaceably assembling on private property. Someone can establish a religion on their private property. So your claims that you deserve access to a platform that someone else built, with their own intellect, time and money, is completely bogus.
