doesn't wash well, lol

In July 2021, Trump originally sued Twitter in the Southern District of Florida, one of a spate of putative class action lawsuits against social media companies that kicked him off their platforms in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Florida influencer Linda Cuadros, who was booted from Twitter for a post about vaccines, was a co-plaintiff in an earlier version of the lawsuit, along with the American Conservative Union, an Alexandria, Va.-based dark money group that lost followers but was not kicked off the platform.

In an amended complaint, other fringe figures joined onto Trump’s lawsuit. Feminist author Naomi Wolf noted that her account was suspended for propagating COVID-19 vaccine misinformation, and far-right radio host Wayne Allyn Root complained that he was banned permanently for his barrage of vaccine and 2020 election conspiracy theories. The two other named plaintiffs are Rafael Barboza and Dominick Latella.

twitter's not an arm of the government

Trump only ever seemed to have the vaguest comprehension of what is or is not part of the government.

Belaboring an interesting point here. Peppermint Patty has stated on more than one occasion that the government is 'coordinating' with the various social media platforms to help 'stamp out fake news' whatever that means. Perhaps with Twitter going private the new owner will make those 'coordination's' public in the interests of transparency. And one has to wonder if the possibility of that happening is part of what's driving the all out attack on Musk?

Yes, as Mush is quickly learning the Left that doesn't exist (hat-tip to Ogg) other than as a right-wing
(which actually does exist and is madder than a hatter), now has put him into the class of dark money,
even though he's out doing it in the pen, but I feel that this was Chipbutty just trying to get in her
self-appointed daily listing of outrages by the Right, because she's a dedicated centrist full of
justice and THE AMERICAN WAY!

But it still sounds like the lowing of the dairy fields...

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

I'll bet you they (the imaginary and nonexistent left) will not want it to be so private now...

MOOO000ooo...

 

[Chobham]

You just have to laugh at the hypocrisy of some of their statements.

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

But it's more the laugh of hapless tragedy: a black humor...

Like the doctors and nurses who crack awful jokes in the middle of disaster, triage and the face of death.

 

[Chobham]

True enough.

This one appears to be our situational Native American AJ (tribal birf name: DancesWithFalsehoods)

 

[GeorgeSoros]

Would be nice if AJ and Fishmeal would keep their mutual pseudointellectual masturbation to Wat’s thread.

Actually, no, one does not have to wonder that at all. In fact, only an idiot would.

Technically I was only referring to spearchucker and bellosaurus...with a "to" not "two", trying to troll AJ but he tucked tail and ran, since replying would invite another ban...

Me too.
But out of sheer curiosity I occasionally peek,and it usually confirms why I put them there.

Oops. Somehow posted to wrong thread

 

[lovecraft68]

Seems like that proposal that won in TX and is on its way to Scotus may refute Twitter or other platforms abilities to censor and suppress free speech. Its based on size and type of platform, and private or not, it won't matter.

So....this little gloating thread that was started may not age well. Kind of like the OP

Twitter is a private company eh? hmmm, how ironic that the leftie wokie psycho's on Twitter purport to be against the concept of private property!
