Unity over accountability is a false choice. Letting criminality and sedition go unpunished sets the stage for more. We learned this in Russia when we failed to uproot the KGB security state. We avoided division and got dictatorship. — PolitiTweet.org

Regulation and rights with relatively new tech like social media are always evolving as the tech, norms and laws change. But fear-mongering and equating it to tyranny is always a sign of bad faith and propaganda. More: https://t.co/daXP8OuVdl — PolitiTweet.org

My https://t.co/EaqkgSZPpl news website is blocked in Russia by the state. That's censorship. Having to move your account to another service because a private company doesn't want to do business with you isn't. — PolitiTweet.org
Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63
No. Bleeping out profanity is also "censoring" according to the dictionary. The relevant meaning in this conversation is *by the government*, because that's the only place that protected rights and the 1st Amendment come in. — PolitiTweet.org

Lastly, if you think what Twitter and other companies did is "censorship," or "like the USSR," you don't know anything about censorship or the USSR. I do, and when the state attacks a company for offending an official is when you're getting closer, not the other way around. — PolitiTweet.org
Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63
There are many legitimate debates about Twitter's ban of Trump, for example, and we are lucky to be free to have them. But none of them should include whether they should have the right to do so. — PolitiTweet.org
Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63
But today, we mostly see partisan efforts to abuse public power to curtail rights, to threaten and control individuals and companies that have angered one political group or another. If they succeed, it's a vicious cycle. — PolitiTweet.org
Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63
Govt can regulate in a pro-free market, pro-innovation way, the way Teddy Roosevelt and Taft broke Standard Oil and the trusts. Such efforts must have a place when the public good is clearly at risk. — PolitiTweet.org
Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63
I've been writing on this balance between government & business and rights and the public good for years, mostly on my Avast blog. Coming from a totalitarian state, I obviously have a dim view of govt power, which is often abused and never conceded voluntarily. — PolitiTweet.org
Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63
Regulation is a vital element of integrating new technology and corporate power with our free societies, with all the rights and freedoms we have worked so hard for. But it takes time, and is far slower than the impact new tech can have. — PolitiTweet.org
Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63
If you want to use state power to control private companies because you don't like the decisions they make, *you* are the greater danger to a free society. — PolitiTweet.org

And this follow-up at my Avast blog last month. The public square must be responsive and democratic. Overregulating private companies won't do that, so public services must speed up. https://t.co/u1bWJQpJC8 — PolitiTweet.org
