We manage to do this just fine for running water and telephones I’m sure existing laws could cover it if we had the will

None of those reasons are “don’t like your politics”

In NC: Lawful Grounds Only: State public utility laws (such as Chapter 62 of the North Carolina General Statutes or equivalent state utility codes) strictly limit when a utility can disconnect service. Generally, a company can only shut off power for specific, approved reasons:

But there are probably laws pertaining to utilities like electrical and telephone that would be a template as well.

Social media platforms are a utility, they are not content producers, they’re the paths our communication travels along. So they must be neutral — accessible to all, not gatekept according to the owners’ whim. Pretty sure the Net Neutrality movement would have some templates for such regulation.

Duke Energy is a private power company and yet, somehow, the state regulates them Tho I think they also make a good case for public utilities

Tell me, can your municipal water utility make an “editorial choice” to stop providing service to your house because they don’t like your No Kings yard sign?

We need to decide that social media is like electricity or banks and break up some monopolies and do some regulations

Update: about 4 hours later and we still don't have admin access so we still can't post to the No Kings instagram account. This isn't slowing down the the 3,000+ early vote events today. We will drive the biggest early vote in history. But this should be a flashing alarm about what's to come.

Are massive social platforms news organizations? Or plumbing? This is a question we better answer

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.

The No Kings Instagram account has been reactivated, but administrators have not yet regained access.

We now know that Meta pulled down the account. For approximately 90 minutes, Meta did not respond to our team, even as the account was offline at the peak of our national day of action and livestream. The account is now viewable again, and Meta told us in their response email that they made a bad call.

However, administrators are still unable to access the account, blocking our ability to post about an ongoing day of mass action for early voting. Meta is currently not allowing the team to log in using the No Kings email address originally associated with the account. The team is troubleshooting that issue now.
This is not OK.

This is part of a much bigger concern: activists and movements around the world are increasingly vulnerable to decisions made by powerful technology platforms that can determine who gets heard and who gets silenced.

We will close the loop once our team is fully back in the account. This remains a developing situation.

I completely deleted my account over there when he bought it. It was obvious what was coming.

Everyone used big ol’ cans of old-timey aerosol hairspray with CFC propellants in the 60s and by the end of the 70s it was not a thing. The public stopped buying it and demanded alternatives. This memory brought to you by Susan Solomon’s book “Solvable”, which I was just reading in the bath.

These students are heroes. The absolutely maddening Republican legislature’s latest step in consolidating control over colleges and universities is to deprive as many students as possible of their ability to early vote. But A&T is badass.

Someone needs to go to the Hague. Like it needs to be unsafe for this guy to step on the soil anywhere but North Korea.
