Take away their safe harbor protection, since they are no longer one. If they curate, it's no longer just the comments of the participants, it's now "journalism" and things like libel apply...which would of course, shut down all the people on the "other side" from the ones they're silencing as well, and we could go back to kitty pix and meals and platitudes....in peace.
It's not just media aggregators though. Even Amazon which has displaced countless competitors censors many buyers for arbitrary rules such as "too negative". They keep a list of accounts banned from reviewing items on reddit.

They are even worse to sellers who depend on the site for their livelihoods.
I've had T-Mobile for over a decade and keep them because i have 2 unlimited lines at $80 a month total. That said, the coverage in my town is pretty terrible just a few miles from the freeway. Sure, I can get 30-50mbps, but what good does that do me when I can't get make a call at work.
I have a 750 voice minute plan. I probably use 5 minutes a month. I keep it because it's grandfathered unlimited data at $40 a line. Even the reps are impressed when I call in.
Most people who use third-party apps do it not because they hate twitter, but because they love twitter and the apps give them a better experience. If they stick with the apps, this just means they will not get notifications, will not open and engage with the site as often and will likely soon realize how shallow and useless Twitter is for anything other than emergency alerts and complaining.
This is exactly what economists said he should have done instead of a blind protectionist tariff on steel and aluminum. How can you argue against mirroring the exact tariffs imposed on US goods overseas?
GM closed the plant as conditions were so bad, there were literal drug dealers and prostitutes working the production floor. NUMMI reopened as an experiment in teaching GM "The Toyota Way" but it was actually Toyota who got taught how to make shitty cars (my Tacoma from NUMMI is a rusted out, multiple recalled mess). Tesla likely rehired all the same people that should not have been working there in the first place and how is making 90s era GM quality cars.
They seem to have just removed the smooth animations and perhaps tablet enhancements. It's janky as heck and I would only run it on the lowest performance handset.
Bad software, out of sync audio, updates that broke more than they fixed and a forum staffed by people that ignored major problems while criticizing users for minor forum etiquette. Returned as defective after only a few weeks of frustration.
Just today, listening to a news broadcast and the announcer said "time" and Alexa gave me the time. Nothing remotely like the activation work preceeded it.
Meanwhile, I get to the store and my Alexa generated grocery list is a jumble of misheard items I must decipher. I just checked right now and I have "grape ground beef", "risotto martin final", "risotto smart and final" and my favorite "masker pone un trader joe's you idiot"
"Looks like you are trying to log in". I just assumed some kid was trying to access my account and, frankly, didn't even care. I have 1 friend on Facebook (my wife) and I use it to view local news, kid activities and a couple hobbies. It's a aggregator, just like./ or reddit for me.
Some like LA Times give you a few free per month. After that, I don't bother clicking. There's very little content that won't be posted elsewhere for less. If I were to start such a subscription, it would probably be to a truly unbiased media source like the Intercept.
Does it seem odd that the same media companies that lambaste Trump's wall rhetoric now want to erect walls of their own to keep folks from coming onto their digital properties and taking content that they don't legally have rights to.
Many of them deliver to my house in their own beat up old vans that I would cross the street to stay away from. I would rather have my items stolen then allow any of these guy the keys to my front door.
...but when I hit a paywall, I always close the window. There are so many other ways to get information today, it's not worth me trying to figure out if the content is worth buying if I can't even get to hit. That goes double for that stupid Forbes loading screen as well.

If it was about Trump, the tick would be called TinyHorned.
Pacific coast checking in...yup, no signal here.

I think most users would be happy with iMessage but Apple won't open it up. RCS is trying to force Apple's hand at interoperability.

That's what they said about analog TV, then they needed the bandwidth and it's gone...

Wasn't that the plot of "Kingsmen"?
They get 3 years of security updates, just not OS updates.

That is not always true. Make sure you view the item in private browsing mode to compare...you might be surprised.

Commenting here is essentially social media. You are commenting to create social conversation over a media topic.
That's how most of the $30 android TV boxes work.
The whole device is a speaker...electromagnetic interference is a given and should have been designed for.
