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.
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.

Fucking lol. Not only is free speech dangerous in Universities, I'll give you a better apolitical example from my highschool.
They fucking doubled the parking lot fees. The student government complained that this was too severe of a raise. They told the student government to go fucking pound sand. The student government then began actively complaining and getting vociferous about it. They got told to eat shit. Then the student government decided to hold off-site protests. The school told them that they were going to cut 50% of the funding to the student government. Then the student government said they would protest in the gym, during school lunch (which students were normally allowed to go to), because the conduct of the school was now getting properly out of control.
That day, the principle made an announcement just before the allotted time. Anyone going to the gym at that time would be arrested by the police and expelled. The teachers physically barred people from entering the gym, standing in front of the door ways in a long line, along with 3-5 police officers in full duty gear, including open-carrying firearms. The student government president and the principle quietly glared at each other with some pretty serious hostility.
That was on Tuesday. On Friday there was a pep rally. At the pep rally, the Vice Principle announced that the Student Government had been dissolved, the student government charter had been revoked and re-written, and there would be new elections. It is probably the most obstinate and bald-faced display of power I've probably ever seen in the US.
Literally: "I love democracy".
Then, there was a time I may have accidentally caused a wave of nationalist sentiment in my highschool's fake olympics. Again, similar results: national flags and displays were banned and physically removed from the school (except for the American flag that was already posted in some classrooms). Several people were given detention.
It was fake nationalism. I just wanted to make Aruba proud.
Highschools are prisons. Students don't have free speech, and they don't have rights, unless you've got an attorney present. And even then, be prepared to have the police arrest you. I know what SCOTUS said back in the 70's about protesting the Vietnam War, but that was the Left supporting Leftism. Political dissent is not tolerated in public school. Check that: dissent is not tolerated in public school.
And in part, it was because regulations on how much banks could put into risky investments were relaxed or abolished.
Yes, because the government wanted the over investment in the first place to create more Diverse first time homebuyers. That was a regulatory incentive.

I just got Covid and nobody even asked me anything.
Fucking lol. Not only is free speech dangerous in Universities,
And yet they lose all court cases. Imagine a world in which they would not only censor, but the censorship would also be upheld in court.

If they could unilaterally do that, there's the problem. Although I am pretty sure that they could not legally bar the gym with the intent to stop a protest.

This was done by the Republicans and Clinton in the 1990s. I don't think it had anything to do with homeowners per se.
