@hj @kk Well... no.
It would quite a an issue for a person, since their own "role in society" has been completely altered, so now it will have to deal with several things like negative reaction from people, bureaucratic obstacles ( ids and such ), people changing their attitudes towards them, having to change all their clothes, dealing with specific biological issues, plus the rewiring of their brains. It could literally drive that person crazy in a jiffy.

@LukeAlmighty "they just have to delete the post and then they can post it again"

Absolutely bull-fucking-shit. There's an appeals process, there were multiple press releases about it, so there's a function that overrides the account lock and makes the Tweet visible again. He knows this. He should have been grilled even harder on this.

That in particular is some dystopian shit. "We don't delete any content on Twitter, we just make it not visible, and force the account owner to take it back before allowing them to use Twitter again", specifically so they cannot be accused of censorship.

On the flip side, Cruz is forgetting that Twitter is a private business and has its own 1st Amendment rights to host any (legal) speech it wants, and against being forced to host speech it doesn't want to.

If the problem is that a single private business has the entire populace by the balls, the correct solution is to either break them up or regulate them as a utility.

"Who elected you to be arbiter of what the media can say?"... Well.... the people did, by giving Twitter a monopoly. Break up the monopoly.
