Yes, I'm sure about that. Speech is an action. Read the First Amendment. It only mentions government, not private corporations. The color of your skin is an unchangeable characteristic (not counting makeup, tanning salons etc.)


They would be rightfully blasted for banning a person just because of their skin color.

I've come to love Twitter.


It is full time entertainment. Sometimes being a simple viewer can be fantastic stuff.

Twitter needs to be re-classified as a necessary part of communications and taken over by the Feds. To ensure freedom of speech in not controlled by them.

Of course, all the profits will go to the General fund.

Facebook has recently added 10,000 'censors' to their previous 10,000


Twitter, Facebook, Google, ..... Big Tech are becoming Big Brother and Congress needs to do something.... before it gets like China.
