Again, i don’t disagree. I am asking how you would enforce something like that? Who gets to decide what’s wrong? I certainly hope it’s not Twitter.

My argument is Twitter is a private company. While private company should be able to control what happens with their platform, they have increasingly reached a size where they are public utilities. I believe an elected government (with its own biases) should decide what goes on a published platform than twitter. Because i have no way of questioning Twitter’s decisions. I can question the government and elect a new one. I can’t elect a new Jack Dorsey.

Twitter gets to decide that. And if there’s overreach and abuse the courts get to step in. Seems quite straightforward to me. I have no problem with giving Twitter – also if they are utility-like – some ability to behave all by themselves, though being able to let the courts check on them if need be.

This is the only part I guess we disagree on. I refuse to let a global entity that is not elected or representative of the world in any way be able to control this.

Every court’s jurisdiction only applies within that country.

What if an American court’s order goes against a European one?

What if Twitter moves to a different jurisdiction which has less oversight and buys out the courts? Not probable. But I wouldn’t want a utility to have so much power. Sorry.
