Twitter tweets supporting Open Internet (opens in new tab)

It's a shame to see some internet service providers acting this way. I'm so glad the net is neutral in the united states at least. It's interesting to see Twitter taking a more active stance in banning accounts here, and I wonder what the long-term repercussions of that will be. In the last few days we've seen companies act faster than government, which I think will generally be true. But hopefully when government acts it will be a bigger and longer lasting change.

I'm guessing this was submitted because of Twitter's ban of Trump's account, so I'm responding accordingly.

I don't think anyone thinks open internet is a bad thing, or that censorship is a good thing.

I DO think it's up to each of us to figure out which is the lesser evil. Counting this link, the evils up for ranking are:

1. Twitter banning Trump's account.

2. Trump using his account to incite hate.

3. Internet service providers being ordered to block social media and messaging apps.

If I had to rank them from most -> least evil, I'd say 3, 2, 1.

Possibly others here will have a different ranking. But for gods sake lets argue about the ranking and not about whether censorship is bad or not, since that dead horse has been brought to life and beaten to death again.
