I'm not talking about cell networks. Common carrier also applied to POTS (i.e., copper wire), a system that (unlike the airwaves) was built entirely by private companies.
And once again, it's not about having alternative walled gardens (which already exist). It's about promoting open debate on all platforms. What's wrong with that? If censorship is the only way your ideas can win, your ideas suck.
Incidentally, this also protects the far left if Elon Musk ends up buying Twitter.
If the government wants to provide a place for open debate, it is free to create a taxpayer funded service to do so. If a Christian organization sets up social media website, should it be forced to host a forum to allow open debate about the existence of God?
Again, conservatives love “limited government” and the free markets until neither work in their favor.
Truth Social is an existence proof that the free market is working as it should.
