Linn Wood Goes After Jack Dorsey

Famed Attorney For Rittenhouse, Sandmann, Has Twitter Account Locked: ‘I’m Going To Take Jack Dorsey’s A** Down’

"He has been abusing the First Amendment of this country for his own agenda."

On Tuesday, the Twitter account of famed attorney L. Lin Wood, who has represented Richard Jewell, Nicholas Sandmann, Mark and Patricia McCloskey, and now Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old charged with fatally shooting two people in Kenosha, was locked for supposedly violating Twitter’s terms of service. Wood had already posted about raising money for Rittenhouse’s legal defense.

Wood, furious, told Fox News that he intended to sue Twitter and its CEO Jack Dorsey, asserting, “I’m going to take Jack Dorsey’s ass down. He has been abusing the First Amendment of this country for his own agenda.”

Wood stated that his account was locked for “glorifying violence.” He continued, “I knew they were going to censor me because I’m sending a message of hope. I’m sending a message of truth. And I’m sending a message that Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent.”

“To the outside, Wood’s account looked like it was working normally, with no notifications or warnings on his tweets. But a screengrab of Wood’s account shared with Fox News shows his account ‘has been locked for violating the Twitter rules.’ Specifically, Wood was dinged for ‘violating our rules against glorifying violence,’” Fox News reported.

Never really thought of you as a "big government type".

Tell me, though, suppose Twitter WAS "classified as a Publisher".....what would that mean? Would they somehow incur an obligation to print anything that anyone writes?

Doesn't Twitter have the right to insist followers follow their "terms of service". Advocating taking up arms against the United States, as this attorney did, would seem, well, seditious.

In American communication and libel law we have classifications of Publisher, Distributor, and Platform.

Publishers were basically liable for material they publish or republished the same way they were liable for their own speech.

Distributors (like a bookstore) were liable on what we might call a "notice-and-takedown" model. in other words if objectionable material is discovered they are notified and if they take it down they have no liability

Platforms aren't liable at all. This is the classification protection Twitter and Facebook benefit from now in that they can act as a publisher without the same liability under the law.

Sites classified as Platforms should be free speech (within the law) forums for public discourse. However 47 USC 230 might have to be tweaked in order to make it more effective. It isn't about big government, it's about big Corporatism. These organizations may already be more powerful than the government, without little effective control against them subverting our constitutional right to free speech. They are denying to the American people the voice of the President for God's sake. Right now this just fine with the left but what if the shoe was on the other foot? There needs to be accountability in order to protect the interests of every one. These Tech companies are too damn big, too damn powerful.

Well, that sounds like big government to me.

Weren't all twitter conservatives and hate mongers going to go to a hate-friendly place like Plex?

If people don't like Facebook or Twitter, they can always go elsewhere.

Government small enough to fit into a woman's vagina, but big enough to regulate the Internet.

Interesting paradox.

Level playing fields and rule of law are a good thing....despite your open hatred of such things.

And yes LOTS of people including liberals are leaving the places that won't allow "wrong thing" according to the woke leftist narrative. In droves.

Facebooky and twitter are both dying, because only woke leftist and their voices are allowed.

Youtube is even starting to suffer a decline/exodus........the more you authoritarians try to squeeze, the more you lose.

Ya love to see it!!!

Funny, the vagina/uterus is literally the ONLY thing the left doesn't want the totalitarian god state in absolute control of....and ONLY under the condition of abortion.

Otherwise they want totalitarian and absolute control over every other aspect of your HC and life.

And they always try to drag that out as if it some how makes the rest of their authoritarianism somehow go away or less control freakish and insane.

It's almost as if the subject of being banned for endorsing violence is personal for you.

Sure seems that way, doesn't it?

Of course, you might recall he takes anyone who disagrees with him about anything as a personal affront.

Funny how they don't want Government intervention until they want the Government to intervene against someone they don't like.

Wouldn't that give them greater protections under the First again unwarranted attacks from the Govenment?

To 4Chan.

Double standards are the norm for whackadoodles like the Bobogook and the housesquaw ("rules for thee but not for meeee"), but seeing RightGuide stand tall for more government regulation is something new.

 

[Rightguide]

To 4Chan.

Nope. Parler.

 

[islandman]

Nope. Parler.

Description: Parler has a significant user base of Trump supporters, conservatives, and Saudi nationals. Posts on the website often contain far-right content, antisemitism, and conspiracy theories.

Fits you almost to a tee........unless you're also Saudi?

Pretty sure Mr Wood agreed to Twitter's TOS. He hasn't got a leg to stand on.

Remember that day you forgot to take your adderrall and decided that the Lit TOS were "advisory in nature" ? How did that work out for ya?

Lost your root userid as I recall. Good thing you had "Conager" as a hot spare for a banhammer contingency.

 

[Conager]

Anything I actually said you have a link to in your obsessive little collection of folders. No link, you lie, as per usual. When you do link, but don't quote you are either mischaracterizing the quote or leaving out relevant context. Why is iit that you cannot attack those on "Teh enemies list" without lying?

I've never had to make up anything about you because you display your odious nature openly on a regular basis. You are eligible for Social Security and you're still lieing and lashing out like the wounded little chubby fifth grader that you are.

Facebook and Twitter are both havens for right wing conspiracy theorists and Russian troll farms. This is common knowledge.

Since WHEN does being a member of either group mean you don't have 1st Amendment Rights?




I don't think Wood has much chance of success here. While his legal claims can be made, the probability that social media will be held liable for their obviously biased deplatforming of those they don't agree with politically is very low.

His case rests on the issue of whether Twitter, after having INVITED HIM to participate, is liable for censoring him for doing what he was invited to do. That Twitter "says" he "violated the TOS" doesn't mean he ACTUALLY DID.

Evidence will have to be shown that Twitter deplatforms those they don't agree with even when the users don't violate the rules. Wood will also have to show that he was locked out for a specious reason that has no basis in fact which also follows the pattern and practice of Twitter doing the same to others. This is a steep hill to climb.

It can be done, but it's difficult.

Not at all....what you read into it says more about you than it does me.

Rob making shit up again.........probably going to start chucking racial slurs around.

Ohhh look at that, "progressive" GB'ers favorite comrade.....RacialSLurDownSouth.

Obviously lying again as I've never held any double standards, unlike Rob who has routinely done so with 1A rights mostly as of late but I'm sure you would find his history is filled with promoting double standards.

I mean the ideology he promotes is institutionalized racism..."social justice"....gotta get those equal outcomes....that equity.

Forgive me, Barrister Timmeh, Esquire, Juris Doctor and member of the state bar association (presumably in good standing)....whar is the GOVERNMENT suppression of Wood's purported censorship?

There is no LAW prohibiting Wood from espousing his jibba jabba, Twitter makes their own rules and enforces them as they see fit.

I don't see any possibility of Wood prevailing in this case. It looks like mindless chest thumping to me.
