like that imam who wants to stop radical islamic terrorists.. if someone has a wild out of control beard.. they might be a terrorist since trimming your beard is bad in islam

it is good that big tech is exposing itself

really good

so twitter itself called banning people from twitter illegal

apple: "our values guide our curation decisions"
every clueful person: "no shit, tim"

yet nothing is done about it because no one seems to have any spine

done... in what sense?

so under twitter's own guide, from the hand of a leftist activist judge, it ruled that they cannot ban people from twitter because donald trump's twitter page is a town square and covered under 1st amendment

But that won't ever be applied fairly Misomania

removed trump's abilty to block people as well under it

if any page on twitter is 1st amendment, they all are

those cases will eventually hit the supreme court

and the court has indicated a willingness to consider some forums to be the public square

and it won't matter.

so maybe some people will be able to sue

because shit like this only is held up for the left wing.

that means that no one can be banned or blocked from twitter, under twitter's own legal victory

but it's not a real solution

i believe they're just claiming gov officials twitter since its communicating gov statements

twitter may be in a poor position to delete or deny accounts

we'll see

but, at the end of the day, that ruling only applies to accounts operated by public officials
within their official capacity

nothing else, really

atm it only applies to trump's page

and, the worst possible reading of it (which is probably the correct reading)
is that the official cannot ban
but twitter is in no way restricted

there was some county official somewhere in a similar case

everyone else in government can block people, and twitter openly acknowledges they block conservatives

no - government officials can be sued for blocking people on social media now

they took the ability off of trump's page

I am not sure which jurisdictions, but there have already been at least 2 cases

yeah

so twitter can claim, for now, that they are within their rights to do that
while deleting every account they want to

accounts they themselves say have a 1st amendment right to access to donald trump's twitter page

so it seems

again, the first amendment restricts government action, not private action

so

twitter can moderate, but Trump cannot

that will eventually fall, I think

but they can claim that posture until it does

blocking anyone prevents access to trump's page, which they claim is protected legally

at the end of the day, the solution will be to move away from twitter
