In what way does what you say not apply to cellphones?

I believe I’m better off for that regulation (in telecom) and believe that I would similarly benefit if social media platforms were also regulated as common carriers.

Edit — rate limited, so replying here:

The commonality is obvious:

Passing messages of various formats to users within your network of contacts and maintaining forwarding/access rules for those messages — almost exactly what cellular service has in common.



What is common among them? What is the analogue to a phone call that applies equally to Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, etc?
