I have heard that private companies like Twitter have the right to censor if they want. But I don't get it. Isn't this a breach of their contract? People ran their business through this platform like Dan Bongino and Charlie Kirk.
How is what they did any different than some restaurant refusing to serve you because you are a conservative? But it is actually far worse than that. It is one thing to have sign outside your business saying that they won't serve you if you have a MAGA hat on, but what Twitter did was serve you. They sat at the table, placed their order, paid their money, but never got their food. How is that legal?
Now I get it if you have a policy that says "no shoes, no shirt, no service" and some big guy walks in without a shirt and your waitress is not about to try and throw him out, so they play along without actually serving him. But that is not what happened. These people asked what was going on and Twitter either lied to him by denying they were doing it or else they stonewalled them saying nothing at all. They didn't violate any posted rules. What Twitter did harmed their business, it was intentional, they knew what they were doing, it was deceitful, malicious, and harmful. How is that legal? Why would anyone defend this?
Imagine you went to a hospital and they decided not to treat you because you had a Maga hat on, would people argue that it is a private business so they have the right to do what they please?
Imagine you tried to rent an apartment and you had a Maga hat on so they lied to you that they didn't have any vacancies even though when you called fifteen minutes earlier they said they did. Is that legal?
