No common carrier lets one passenger harass all the others. They throw you off the plane.

Remember that you can't pass a US law and actually fix it if the issue is the clownfaces in China, which to a large degree is what's going on in this instance.

The big problem right now is that while you can try to set up an alternative to Twatter, for example, the grievance industry can and WILL target your providers of utility services -- as happened with Gab. That shit has to be stopped; you can bet that there's plenty of interlocking interference from places like Twitter in organizing that, but proving it is very hard if not impossible.

The water company can't refuse me a water connection for any reason other than my refusal to pay the bill for my consumption; ditto for the power company. The unbranded utility-style services that form the necessary components of digital utilities should be treated the same way.

This doesn't prevent a content-neutral policy (e.g. "if you spam you're gone".)
