Except its not monopoly. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, the various chans, Discord, Parler, Youtube, Gab. None are "the same" as the other, but all are forums for communicating in public.
Not exactly: -YouTube has a monopoly on online video -Google has a monopoly on search -FB/Twitter have a duopoly on social -Apple/Google have a duopoly on mobile 90%+ marketshare requires regulation.

Look at Parler. They were supposed to be the competitor, but they're about to get banned from Apple/Google's infrastructure monopoly on mobile. That's the end of Parler. It's an abuse of monopoly, technically duopoly, power.

I think there is a real conflict in basic principles here. There certainly are lots of options besides Twitter, Youtube, etc, but your point about 90% share is probably ballpark right. But we've been moving away from regulation for a long time. 1/2

The idea we're even having this conversation after it was announced Parler will be banned is so tiring. It never ends.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
