A stern letter...

I choose “F” for the stern letter. As in, “F”!

True as an abstract value, but the legally enforceable part is only in cases of government interference. The corporate part is not yet fully defined in its scope by the courts. Legal cases still pending.

Sadly, AG Merrick won’t do anything.

One thing that I am really getting tired of seeing, is everything being redacted. For it leaves room for the people involved to deny it was them who were engaged in these crimes.

Why are people not immediately being picked and charged?

This is more troubling if it accurately reflects what happened. Obviously Twitter needs different standards that it employed before.

It’s one thing for Joe or Trump’s campaigns to request review but given the bias of Twitter employees given their personal preferences it’s problematic for an entity that claims to be the internet public square to collude with campaigns.

Without knowing what tweets were deleted or censored, it’s hard to know whether or how often they crossed the line and acted as a defacto agent of a particular campaign, party, or government entity.

If Hobbs office ONLY objected to deliberate misinformation about when or how voters could exercise their rights there’s no issue with asking Twitter to review tweets.

I think in this case Hobbs should have recused herself simply because she was running for governor, not reelection for the SoS job. Perhaps the current governor should have directed a deputy SoS to oversee the election process.

Are you suggesting they need to recuse themselves in the year they stand for re-election

It's not a 'suggestion'. It's the law that must be complied with in order to have a LAWFUL election. So yes, she had to suspend her election duties in 2022, and if she is permitted to ever hold office again, she has to follow the law.

The thing about Kevin McCarthy being speaker is that he will run interference and prevent these investigations from happening.

Stepping back for a minute from all the details, doesn’t it seem as though Musk has everyone right where he wants them?

If the Dems make a big case of it and say it was fine to tilt Twitter the way they did, and they get some kind of approval somewhere, by the legislative or the judicial branch, then Musk can do whatever he wants also and make Twitter biased in HIS favorite direction if he wants to.

If it goes the other way and free speech prevails, that is what Musk is all about in the first place. That is why he’s doing this, not to tilt things the opposite way.

Win win.

And people wonder why he’s the richest person in the world.
