Is it ok for them to cut my line if I don't pay the bill?

They are common carriers, like ISPs , social media companies are not



Are ISPs considered common carriers right now? I know that's changed a few times and I haven't kept up with the latest.

Will social media companies be considered common carriers? That's still possible too.

Ultimately, a "common carrier" is whatever the government says it is.

Being challenged and could be overturned.


Well, according to Texas. They are now.
