You have no intrinsic right to a mobile telephone, so we do live in this world.

If it made business sense for them to do this, they would.

Call in a few threats to local businesses or SWAT someone and see how long it takes for your phone to get disabled.

Do you have evidence of that ever happening? I've never read that in a swatting story.

Twitter disabling the NY Post doesn't make 'business sense' under any conventional definition of business, unless you consider election manipulation for the benefit of one political party to have near unlimited business upside.

What we're dealing with here is not ordinary abuse control of the sort that isn't controversial, and it's a false equivalence to connect the two. It's outright suppression of doing anything that might harm the political left.
