This isn't a coincidence.  The Incident @ the Capital accelerated events, but the real trigger was the results from the GA runoffs.  As of Jan 20 the Republicans will loose their majority in the Senate, and thus will no longer control any committee chairmanships in either house of congress.  That means not only is the GOP powerless to stop legislation or presidential appointments, we can no longer call hearings or issue subpoenas.  There is no aspect of the Federal government that can hold Big Tech accountable for silencing the opponents of the Democratic Party.  In fact, Execs from Facebook and Twitter have become part of Joe Biden's transition team and are expected to join his administration.

Discouraging to say the least.
The ironic thing is, breaking facebook into smaller companies is likely beneficial to the shareholders...
But the board wants inside access to government leadership for its own sake. Just for the prestige of it. and that's what they're getting.  And they wouldn't get that as much post breakup.

Right to refuse service by a web based entity doesn’t compare well to a physical business subject to state and local pandemic policy. 

Very apples and dump trucks

Cool your jets and try to be relevant and not personal with your posts.

Pretty sure I saw twitter compared to a bakery in an earlier post. That was also apples to dump trucks.

You guys really don't have a good argument here. Social media functions like a utility. Congress awarded Tech companies the same privileges and protections as the phone companies because they were supposed to function in a similar manner. Then, after getting those protections, they started censoring speech based on ideas they don't like. That is not their job. They are editorializing now, and should now be subject to libel. If they can say, we censored these lies, then they should be able to be sued for lies they are not censoring. It's that simple. The simple truth is that social media is the new town square and should function like a public utility. Period. Please stop pretending like you don't understand this. They should only be able to restrict speech that is already approved by the government (which is controlled, for now, by the people). It's ludicrous that you guys even try to defend this [BLEEP]. It only comes from a place of privilege, to use terms you guys seem to embrace.

Interesting take. I presume you think the same about the internet providers you must use to make use of the social media utilities, right? Are you a proponent of network neutrality regulation?

I'm glad you say that.  We really need to talk to each other, and not isolate ourselves in our own alternative realities.

I think that's a legitimate issue.

Better to stay in an alternate reality of someone else's choosing then?

Twitter lost $5B in market value today. I'm sure they must have seen this coming.

Eggs, Omelets, etc.

Do Google, Twitter, or Facebook get any kind of tax subsidies from the government?

Looks like there's a pro-trump protest being organized outside of twitter's main office building lolol

A Parler omelet if they can find an investor to acquire some server space.

I’m sure it’s already been dubbed a bloodthirsty mob by the MSM.

Most people call them loopholes, but yes they exist.
All of those big companies find ways to assign income to other countries, exaggerate expenses, and things like that to make it look like they made no profit.
It would be pretty hard to crack down on this.

The word Nazi and Socialist is now being watered down as much as the word racist.
