Capitalism is an economic system in which the means to create wealth are privately controlled, as opposed to being owned by the state. Capitalists lament government interference in industry. ...

So fascists are the ones claiming Twitter is a public utility (you know, like electricity, gas, water and sewage).
The reason to claim its a public utility is so the government can seize and control a privately owned company. They want to steal the fruits of an individual or group's labor and demand use of their property. Talk about entitlement....

Have never seen the reason for labeling fascism as "ultra-right-wing", when the reality is the regressive left is intent on creating generations of neo-serfs while exercising control over economics and society.

It's ok, well-meaning libertarians often times confuse the two.
I guess it could happen. Cutting off my electricity for political reasons would be oppressive. The gas company denying me service because I am part Indian would be oppressive.
Twitter telling me I cant complain about our proud white culture becoming infested with taco eating bean heads would be oppressive. Twitter deciding they dont want to use their business to promote my thoughts about bean eaters is not oppressive. Its their company not mine.

In past years, the government has reined in railroads, banks, steel companies and other groups which controlled industries even though the individual companies did not constitute monopolies. The same logic may be applied to rein in the excesses by Google, Facebook, and other online media companies.

You can only have a voice and make change online in today's world. What this effectively means is that a small group of tech giants police who has a voice. Like a tax loophole, they have a 1st amendment loophole because they have a monopoly as a group/entity over the internet: they act in lockstep with one another to target specific speech while owning nearly all the market share.
