      A basic tenet of libertarian thought is to imagine every single government regulation you could contemplate putting in place being used against you by your most fevered political opponent.

      What I’m saying is, I don’t think we get calls to regulate Twitter from conservatives if Kamala Harris were President.

          She's saying conservatives are hypocrites trying to seize the means of production, on the belief that they have disproportionate power over the state

          I was with you on the first tweet but don’t understand the second. Is it because if she can regulate this she can regulate other sites?

          My point is that conservatives arguing for the regulation of social media companies assume that the regulations would take place in a way conservatives would like, which likely wouldn’t happen if a different administration were in charge.

          i certainly don't remember hearing conservatives calling for social media to be regulated back in 2015

          uh, because social media wasn't censoring back then?

          Tim pool (not conservative) is calling for it because he assumes the court system would force the regulations towards maximal speech, even if the government wrote more restrictive ones. That isn’t an unreasonable assumption.

          Nope. But most libertarians (me!) are also preeeetty skeptical of giving it to Trump, too.
