Would you support changing laws to allow Twitter to ban black people from their platform?

I think the constraints on these companies should be the same as in normal public discourse.

It is strange to me that I can talk to someone on the street about how I'm trying to minimize my consumption of Chinese goods and how this is worthwhile and no one would bat an eye but that that is somehow offensive online.

We can then decide if we want to regulate general public discourse about what we're talking about.

Twitter is not a free speech platform. Simple.

Straw horse argument.

And as a private business I’m pretty sure they can ban anyone they want for any reason.
