Collectivist Utopians Won't Stop With Social Media Suppression
Utopians, especially of the revolutionary variety, are never satisfied.
That is an undeniable truth of history.
One only needs to read an account of Jacobin France, Nazi Germany, Bolshevist Russia, or Maoist China to draw such a conclusion.
In the future, one must ask, will Biden's America be added to that infamous list?
It has been pointed out that one does not have an inherent constitutional right to social media.
Since those are private corporations viewed as individuals in the eyes of the law, to compel such would be to infringe upon its rights in a coercive manner.
Perhaps fair enough.
But it must be asked will the matter stop there in regards to those commodities or services that don't quite rise to the level of government but without which the individual's quality of life is profoundly hampered?
For example, most electricity is provided through what is ultimately private enterprise.
So what if in the future an electric company does not like how its commodity is being utilized in pursuit of a perfectly legal but ideologically unacceptable values or agendas such as to light a church opposed to homosexual marriage marriage or that professed the belief in Christ alone is the only path to obtain a beatific afterlife?
In the future, sophisticated computers and Artificial Intelligence will play a role in the way in which personal vehicles are piloted.
Should individuals known to express or even be suspected of harboring certain opinions have their ignition systems shut down entirely so as to inhibit their ability to travel in a manner not unlike the interlock system imposed upon drunk drivers?
Don't laugh.
It has already been proposed that those at the Capitol Kerfuffle should be placed on the don't fly list without even having been convicted of a crime.
And who before this time thought steps would be taken to silence former presidents and seated senators who did not actually call for violence but rather whose words were not those preferred by the gatekeepers of the means of communication?

America As Whole As Worthy Of Protective Walls As Congress
Barriers at least seven feet high and said to be unscalable (walls if you will) have been erected around what allegedly objective journalists keep reminding viewers is “our beloved Capitol and symbol of democracy”.
This step was taken following the kerfuffle that though profoundly serious still resulted in less damage to property and human life than the other civil disturbances that have gone on nearly nonstop since about Memorial Day 2020.
If such security measures are the proper response to deter those initiating the violation of law and assorted forms of destruction, then why is a wall around the border not as appropriate?
For ought our country as a whole be just as beloved and a symbol of democracy as an edifice that --- though awe inspiring as it might be --- is at its most basic still just a government building?
Such legislative halls are, after all, the places from which those such as the IRS and DMV that evoke no such warm sentimentalities derive their authority to make our lives more miserable and burdensome.

Maybe Not A Free Speech Violation But Certainly Questionable Customer Service
President Trump has been banned from Twitter.
The justification is not so much over what he said but rather that his words might incite what assorted social media platforms categorize as violence.
Yet nothing as drastic has been done to curtail actual tyrants, terrorists, and activist vandals for utilizing the technology to foment deceptive propaganda and to even coordinate assaults against property and infrastructure.
It is reminded that First Amendment protections of speech don't apply because technically social media is not government.
Maybe so.
But it cannot be denied that, like government, these organizational structures possess the disturbing potential to cripple the individual that dares to express an ideology at odds with that professed by these executives that wield more actual power than even many high ranking politicians.
At the very least, these services ought to be accused of an offense similar to false advertising.
For while it might not rise to the level worthy of legal intervention, there is something inherently wrong about creating the impression that you are providing the individual the opportunity to speak whatever it is that is on their mind and then snatch that precious opportunity away when what is said is not what the corporatists wanted to hear.
As a gesture of the respect and civility an increasing number claim to be demanding, it should be clarified what exactly what “community standard” was violated by the alleged thought criminal.

For What Other Reasons Can Civil Society Be Suspended?
Across America, governments are invoking the power to essentially suspend civil society when hospitals are occupied at a predetermined numerical threshold.
So why does the same sort of emergency intervention not apply in other situations where human life is at stake?
For example, if there are a certain number of auto accidents for a particular period should most forms of vehicular travel be suspended for a spell?
Likewise, if the number of heart attacks and incidents of cardiac disease rise above a certain percentage in a jurisdiction, should most of the fast food establishments --- especially Starbucks --- in a given area be closed and supermarkets allowed only to sell an assortment of rudimentary vegetables?
If a particular number of domestic abuse incidents occurs, should liquor stores be closed until such an epidemic is gotten under control?
And if a state's adolescent obesity rates rise above a certain level, should Internet and smarthphone access be switched off in order to get the youth probably spending a considerable amount of time on these devices active outdoors?
