'Tis Wrong that They are Suspending the President's Twitter Account

   'Tis wrong that they are suspending President Trump's twitter account. The right to tweet should be protected by the First Amendment. It will be argued that Twitter is a private company, and they should be allowed to set their own rules governing Twitter accounts. It is their forum, so they can pick who they allow on it. 

   But, Twitter is more than that. It is, in essence, a public utility. And, it is more than that. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others are forums for public speech. They are public forums.
