    They should be allowed to run their business as any other business does as long as they are legal.

    They are out to make money just like most all.
    Twitter is a product. If one doesn't like the product, they choose a different product.

    As for treating like a radio company, I don't know. They businesses are not exactly the same.
    Twitter allows people like me and you to put stuff on their platform. Radio companies don't do that.

    They have call in shows, and those calls are heavily screened before ever reaching the air. A true squelching of free speech if one wants to claim twitter squelches free speech.
    Which each media company can do, legally. And should remain so.

    Twitter is his latest in a never ending war with something/someone.
    He can't have campaign rallies where people go all gaga over him.

    He needs to feel constant love or his narcissism goes overboard.
    So he creates news by lying on twitter. His ego is in constant need of feed.

    Without twitter, he's a nobody. And he would never stand for that.

    well its insane and immoral to shoot someone for stealing a toaster or a gallon of milk, or a tv.

    deadly force should only be used to save a life or prevent an arson.

    Twitter is not an editorial. It's a platform for customers to say things. Customers, being the operative word.

    Those are completely subjective opinions.

    Many people have been shot for stealing others property.

    if Twitter has to post Trump's hateful and dishonest Tweets, does that mean Fox News, Breitbart and Infowars now have to post Progressive-Liberal articles and opinion pieces?

    hmmm...

    do Churches now have to post pro-Muslim or pro-Atheist articles in their newsletters?

    if Twitter is forced to post all of Trump's rants, regardless of how rude or crude or inaccurate they are, then Fox News, Breitbart, Infowars and other right-wing media will be forced to print stuff THEY don't agree with.

    careful what you wish for, Conservatives.

    That is an option. Suing for content on their site.

    Can a newspaper be held accountable for what's printed in their editorial section?
    Talk shows be held accountable for guest speakers and their content. Or callers contents?

    if privately-owned media can be sued for the content of their editorials and ads, they will be MUCH less likely to print things they don't agree with.

    bye bye freedom of speech.

    So as a liberal would you use deadly force to prevent being raped or just assume the position?

    Its not like 2016 at all.
    No rallies.
    No debates.
    Horrible economy, in 2016 it was great.

    tRUMP has nothing at the moment.
    Economy in toilet.
    No campaign rallies.

    His only 2 hopes, gone.
    Twitter is all that is left for the TWIT called tRUMP.

    Get over it. Gonna be a long rough year for you.

    if Twitter actually enforced their Terms of Service equally and impartially, Trump would have been banned years ago.

    careful what you wish for, folks.

    You didn't bother to answer any questions I posted with this post.

    Are Newpapers liable for editorials posted in their paper?

    You realize you can report them and they will be deleted right?
    Just like here — if someone breaks the ToS of the day, you can report it — mods will review it — and delete it at their discretion.
    They actually gave trump special rights because they didn’t delete it — they just added a disclaimer to one and put another behind a “view” link.

    Do you think politicalforum.com should be shut down because they delete posts calling all republicans pedophiles?

    So if someone conducts a home invasion of your home, will you interview them to determine intent?

    I am not familiar with that.

    Does that mean, someone can write an editorial to the paper. Have it printed in their paper. And the paper organization is not responsible for the content it published?

    if Twitter loses its liability protection, they will likely ban Trump immediately as he has clearly violated their TOS policy many times.

    So the leftwing Tweety birds have a problem with Trump demanding virtual public square platforms abide by their original contract to not be censoring speech , not discriminating against political party in exchange for being granted immunity from liable suit.

    But those same leftist applaud the social scoring, surveillance and tracking system of the Chi Com government.

    Twitter lives on the back of government owned and controlled frequencies.
