It only opens up highly complex moral issues in the same sense that a principle of absolute freedom of speech closes these issues by refusing to engage with them at all. I&#x27;m not a principled person and my politics don&#x27;t come from supporting one set of principles over another. I&#x27;m only troubled by twitter&#x27;s conduct insofar as the network is controlled by a few private individuals who aren&#x27;t accountable to their users. To me, it&#x27;s the concentrated, unilateral power that is the issue. Because power gets abused. That&#x27;s essentially what happens to concentrated power.<p>A federated, open twitter platform would be better. Ideal, in fact. If twitter the company were merely an operator in such a network, i would not take much issue with them banning people i personally would evict from my social spheres.<p>i mean, i agree with you in that the other examples you mentioned are all objectionable to me too and i think a moral justification for banning ISIS accounts can be extended to those cases. it doesn&#x27;t matter what they <i>say</i> the reasoning is, the underlying mechanism is a power struggle between extremely large and grotesque power structures.
