    Freedom of expression is a human right. When certain companies grow so large that they have the power to impede human rights you're asking me who is going to compensate them for not violating those rights?

    That's a bit obscene.

    Twitter doesn't impede your right to speech. The existence of Twitter doesn't take away other methods of expressing your opinion. Start your own blog or newspaper, or go out onto the streets with a soapbox, or find some other social media company (like Parlor) that lets you say more things than Twitter.

    And you didn't answer my question. If Twitter is a public forum then should the taxpayer (of which countries?) fund its expenses?

    It certainly does, and Twitter and platforms like Google have already been reprimanded on this issue.

    That's what it means to live in a digital age.
