Twitter are a platform, not a publisher. If they control what they allow on their platform, then they are a publisher. There are different laws for platforms and publishers ... "publishers" can be sued for what appears on their service, platforms are protected under fair use. Twitter is trying to be both ... they are publishers while trying to hide behind the protection of platforms.
Although based on your immature and low IQ attempt at trolling ... I doubt you care. Stay patient ... that pubic hair will kick in any day now.

An argument can be made that it is a public utility and equal access should be provided for all. As widespread as the social media platforms have become and the fact that they are major forms of communication look for them to be regulated the same way television, telephone, newspaper, radio etc have been. These aren’t just “some company”- they’ve transcended that in terms of importance in today’s society.

But they can’t. They must run advertisements for any political candidate that wants to use their airwaves. They must provide equal access at equal prices. They are not permitted to discriminate based on political affiliation. Same with radio. Same with newspapers. Social media has become just as widespread and the same rules are coming for them, guaranteed.

Spread this.
In 1776 the Public Forum was 100% owned by the government. Becuase of this the 1st Amendment was created to avoid the dangers of such a monopoly.
In 2019, the Public Forum is owned by Internet Companies. (60% owned by Faceboom). We need 1st Amendment protections against the FB monopoly.

Agreed.
Twitter banning anyone they like is no different to a Christian baker refusing to make sodomy-cakes.
The people who own Twitter have a constitutional right to express their political bias in the same way as you and I.
If people don't want to get banned from a platform then they shouldn't use platforms that are addicted to censorship.

Nope, they're currently trying to have their cake and eat it too. They have certain (((protections))) in place because of their (((Status))) in legalese. They are by no fucking means a (((Private))) Company any more than (((Facebook)))(But sure, I'm sure it's TOTALLY coincidence that DARPA drops the project that sounds SUSPICIOUSLY LIKE FACEBOOK the same fucking day that facebook was allegedly (((Founded))).)
They are no longer a (((Private))) anything, they have the power to alter the world by use of consensus cracking. Much like the Nuclear Bomb, Twitter and Social media shouldn't fucking exist. Most of you lot are too god damn childish to understand what power it possesses. It's up there with the Hydrogen Bomb and Birth Control but we treat it like it's just a ballpoint pen or something.
Sad.

Stop using Twit. It’s primarily Liberals who hate conservatives and you will never convert them anyway. Delete your accounts. Drop Twit’s user engagement numbers which will freak stock holders who will eventually sell their shares. There is your plan. It’s that simple.

There is an implied contract between twitter and the user. Twitter is providing a service, and the user pays for that service by giving up privacy. Twitter profits off of this arrangement. I think it can be argued that Twitter shouldn't be selectively discriminating against a group of people based on political affiliation or anything else. I would like to see this argued in court. I think Twitter would lose.

Not true. Twitter is taxpayer funded, and is a front company for the CIA. Same with facebook, amazon, youtube, and others.
