Justice Thomas suggests regulating tech platforms like utilities
Citizens United (a 5-4 ruling along party lines which Justice Thomas voted in favor of) established that corporations have the right to free speech, which explicitly includes speech that can influence elections. I wonder if his thoughts on that have changed, but that is unlikely.<p>The funny (and sad) thing is, this whole &quot;large corporations can do anything they want&quot; ethos in place today is a very recent shift in American society, steadily pushed by &quot;Reagan conservatism&quot; in the last few decades. The corporations then started shifting left (because that&#x27;s where the money is), and the same conservatives are now calling for regulation.
