Question all you want, but letting the Feds into the realm of private platforms and discourse almost always leads to more censorship.

Besides, giving the government power to control what Twitter does would probably require a constitutional congress to rewrite parts of it to allow for it, and I don't want the current pack of scumbags in Washington anywhere near that.

Anti-trust is not "letting the Feds [in]", it's the government upholding the law of the land. The whole point of anti-trust is to keep the market working, not government takeover of business.

It's not an anti-trust issue. I'm seriously baffled here. How is it anti-trust?

Collusion and monopolization. Two of the biggest subjects in anti-trust law.

The "trust" in "anti-trust" refers to the trust that people need to have in the markets for them to work properly and the types of things that big tech is doing is causing trust to fall in their respective markets. At that point, government steps in with ati-trust laws to restore that trust.

That case has nothing to do with Twitter. It's about Google's advertising practices, not censoring the President.
