We’re straying pretty far into OT here but they do run a network - Trump banning TikTok because they hurt his feelings would be Stalinist. Twitter banning Trump for TOD violations is the Free Market speaking. It’s pretty fundamental to civics, participation society, and sanity in general, to get these right.

A friend who is rather right-wing (tho mostly sane) said angrily that AWS terminating Parler was "Stalinist" (apparently his metaphor for totalitarian.) I said no, the government _forcing_ AWS to carry Parler, or Twitter to carry Trump (another 'plaint) would be "Stalinist". Imagine if a Chinese social media company refused to carry anything posted by Xi Jinping (China's president) for similar reasoning. Then you'd likely, one can only speculate, see "Stalinist" in action. P.S. Does anyone know whether Trump is paid for his Twitter traffic as many celebrities are? -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
