@cocoaphony Yes!

One way to characterize the case you are making is that anti-trust always WAS speech regulation.

Does it count as “abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press”? If you are Elon, you say preventing him from doing what he wants with his platform is that. Is preventing, or undoing, the emergence of Twitter, specifically for its effect on a “marketplace of ideas”, then “abridging” as well? 1/

@cocoaphony Whether it is or not, I’m for it. Just like I don’t think private parties have a right to keep or bear cruise missiles.

So should we interpret into freedom of speech a kind of limitation of reach, i.e. a right to speak is fully protected as long as any amplification comes from voluntary action by other speakers, but the degree a party may be capable of unilateral amplification might be regulable? /fin
