I am fighting the idea of only having my 11-inch iPad Pro on vacation so hard that I am currently installing Monterey on the 12-inch MacBook @backlon sold me in 2016, as though I will desperately need access to a file system on the beach — PolitiTweet.org

Hilariously Brendan would strenuously disagree with you if you argued that broadband providers control access to information with no competition and the government should write rules saying ISPs should treat all packets the same! — PolitiTweet.org

Here is an FCC Commissioner proposing government speech regulations on a service 90 percent of the country doesn’t use because Elon did a dumb tweet — PolitiTweet.org

@Cesare_C You cannot have the government impose content moderation standards on private companies and preserve the First Amendment. It’s okay if you want to eliminate the First Amendment, but you know, I think it’s pretty good — PolitiTweet.org

This is a joke that works if you think I am on either the left or the right, which is why the concept of a privatized dog security force that doesn’t use weapons or bill anyone for the provision of social services is a model for America vote Patel — PolitiTweet.org

@Cesare_C Government speech regulations are bad, no matter the numbers. — PolitiTweet.org

@LkjonesSOC I think this is a totally fair criticism of Twitter that is actually a searing criticism of journalism as a whole! But still not a reason to upend the First Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

(A correction here: it is Saturday night and I misread. Twitter’s reported number is mDAU or monetizable daily active users, not monthly. MAUs not reported so not directly comparable, but still: it is much smaller than competitors and government speech regulations are bad.) — PolitiTweet.org

@sieurdulhut Actually drill on that: more than YouTube embeds? — PolitiTweet.org

Google Search drives more traffic to every news org you can think of but celebrities don’t complain about it so here we are! — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

Some misunderstandings here so I will make it plain: if you think 217m monthly actives makes Twitter a town square you have no idea that Reddit (430m), TikTok (1 billion), and Facebook (2.9 billion) are vastly more popular and should quit Twitter because your brain is poisoned — PolitiTweet.org

@aibcameron @notkevineve I mean, just work through the basics: the US Postal Service is a government agency bound by the First Amendment and cannot screen junk mail for you. Should Twitter be able to filter spam? — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@notkevineve @aibcameron The SEC has a vested policy interest in protecting investors from market manipulation, which is how it overcomes the First Amendment issues with such orders. If Elon wants to challenge that order on that ground, the judicial system is available to him! — PolitiTweet.org
