is there any such thing as a “public” business?

With all the businesses refusing service to people without mask, and now the Twitter ban, I’m having trouble thinking of a service or business that wouldn’t be eligible to refuse someone. Am I overthinking this?

Yes, public utilities (electric, water/sewer, etc). Public libraries and community centers also come to mind.

“Public company” is usually a term to describe a company that is publicly traded on the stock market. What you seem describing is pretty much the definition of socialism:

“Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole”
