Do you know what happens when you turn Twitter into a utility? It means Elon Musk never buys it, the Leftists literally never leave those jobs for the rest of their lives, and they become official regulators of speech.
Look at FTX. The Dems were setting FTX up to be the official CBDC exchange of the US. The leading advocate for regulating crypto currency was FTX themselves. When SBF pissed off a billionaire, that billionaire took it personally and blew up his company, exposing this creditors to the Ponzi Scheme that the whole thing was, and it has turned into the largest financial crime in human history. Do you know what the Dems are doing right now? Using this scandal as justification to regulate crypto currency using the very bill that FTX proposed that would enshrine them as the CBDC exchange for the US.
Regulation is not for you. Regulation exists to protect the oligarchs.
The only reason you have any accountability at all is because of the lack of regulation. When the elites fuck each other over, everyone else benefits. When the government makes a regulatory framework, only the elites benefit.
If you turn Twitter into a utility, you will have no control and no accountability. Just as you have no control or accountability over your water bill or electric bill. It's decided by a committee that is the deep state and is utterly unaccountable to any election.

Disagree completely. Even a Twitter literally run by the US government would be superior to what it is now. Any of their censorship that is not illegal would be struck down in court. Now they can have the FBI 'suggest' that Twitter censor stuff that is not actually illegal. They would not be able to do that then.
Regulation is not for you. Regulation exists to protect the oligarchs.
Regulation is a double-edged sword. It hurts as well as harms. And it definitely helps oligarchs against new entrants, because they can afford the red tape and lawyers. Not to mention regulatory capture. That said, 'no regulation' is also quite bad - as we saw in 2008 among other cases.
You're welcome to disagree and be utterly wrong. Just as government run healthcare is now openly murdering citizens and is utterly unaccountable, just as public security (police) are supportive and tolerant of jihadist child rape, just as public schools are also supportive of child rape, just the public credit score systems are being manipulated to regulate ideology, just as the FBI is a political enforcement agency, just as the power companies in my state have denied me the right to appeal my bill for 5 years, just as the water utility is permitted to charge me for every year I didn't use it, just as the USPS doesn't have tell me or reimburse me for lost packages, just as Twitter would be exactly the same as it was under Vijaya. And that's the point of the utility : to be utterly unaccountable.
Regulation is a double-edged sword.
The only good regulations are the ones written in human blood. I'm okay with the fire code's max capacity for rooms because those are apolitical regulations that were crafted after hundreds of people were killed. That's the only way good regulations work, and they only happen sometimes.
Regulatory capture is the base premise of all regulation.

The 2008 crash was strictly regulated to happen as the government pushed and incentivized those loans to be made. The government itself, monopolizing the credit review system, falsified the evidence on how trusworthy the Mortgage Backed Securities were, despite the shorts actively calling it out in the first place. Then, of course, the government regulators made sure to protect the banks from being held accountable, and guaranteed their executives raises in the bail outs.
My favorite is how Universal Healthcare is strictly regulated so that doctors can be protected from their terrorist patients who aren't vaccinated.
And why do we need to regulate carbon emissions? Because we are the carbon emissions that need to be reduced.
And that's the point of the utility : to be utterly unaccountable.
It's demonstrably false though. Let's take your example, public schools. They have to allow free speech, even if they don't like it. Whatever else is wrong with that, this isn't it. And the same will be true for Twitter.

In part. And in part, it was because regulations on how much banks could put into risky investments were relaxed or abolished.

At the moment, is it countries with universal healthcare that have the more healthy attitude towards the Covid vaccines, or the US? I see people being denied organ transplants for not being vaccinated there.
Are you fucking crazy?
