Reply to comment by Philip_Marlowe in FCC Threatens to Disconnect Twilio for Illegal Robocalls by BasedSweet

Yes, basically the same argument made to defend the existence of any monopoly in history.

If it's an essential service, it surely should not hinge so critically on one for-profit institution.

Absolutely, which is why I think Twilio needs to be regulated instead of shut down. That in itself is also pretty tricky though, because they're legally prohibited from knowing what their customers use their service for.
