The DOJ anti-trust division should be all over them. But they are corrupted through crossbreeding with big tech, lawyers, bankers and lobbyists. Alphabet made sure they weren't going to get the IBM, Microsoft or AT&T treatment.

And that’s what they are. And superhighways don’t assert control over political beliefs of those who travel them. In that analogy, Amazon Web Services is the car dealer. I doubt that car dealers can refuse to sell to a credit-worthy buyer.

Antitrust, antimonopoly, anticollusion, competition, case law tells me you are probably right. a nice fat lawsuit against the few high tech whales for getting so quickly together to put Parler out of business. The idea that Twitter, Facebook etc are just dumb carriers like a road or phone network rather than editorial, self-serving, political operative, monopolist publishers is absurd. Looking forwards to Trump leading 80 million MAGA people in opposition to Biden and Kackling Kamala. Could be more interesting than if Trump had not been robbed by dead of night vote swindling. Pompeo has given Biden a hospital pass with Taiwan being upgraded to full relationship to stop the Made in China conquest. Biden is beholden to Beijing so it will be interesting to watch. Hong Kong and Taiwan should get an independence vote like Brexit, Scotland, Quebec. Mqurice
