I love how they think we have some obligation to waste our time telling you why your idea is idiotic.. we dont, you can figure that out on your own.

Agreed, but they didnt, nor do i think they should have. Simply being a service on the internet should not qualify you as a common carrier. I do think prolific social media services which do not inter-operate opening with other third-party services however should be classified as common carriers.

No i got that, its concerning that you think someone who wishes to consent to giving up their data but simply is foolish and doesnt know what is best for them is a good justification for denying free speech is exactly what concerns me.

To be fair we arent that misaligned. I do think that pervasive social networks should be treated as public space and their ability to censor curtailed. But I would not ban the medium or any forum beyond enforcing limitations on them.
