Having your message broadcasted through Twitter is not a human right or essential to your survival. Also, what kind of TOS would a water company have that you can break? This example is ridiculous.
The obvious point is that both internet and water are public services, and the minute we let companies start cutting off services for political reasons we no longer have a democracy.
Sorry, but since the water company is privately owned they can do whatever they please. If you don't like it, you can build your own water company. Thanks!
...now you know how it feels for anyone on the opposite side of your argument.
Please post a link to the terms of service of your water company.
I'm doubtful there is no clause in your city's/county's/municipality's/state's, etc. that allows them to interrupt service without cause. That's why terms of service exist.
Now I'm genuinely curious to find out what terms of service you agreed to with the private water company. What type of settlement do you live in?
Nah. The water infrastructure at my home isn't owned by a private company. I live in a state that has this radical policy that water is a human right and should not be commoditized.
On a related note: The Governor of California was cutting off electricity and water to homes for the crime of "peaceful assembly", recently... so it's not just free speech that's under assault, but probably you could say most rights, at this point.
The good ol' democrat mantra: "Never let a good crisis go to waste."
