ut the reality is that you are what you are, and if you are handling millions of communications, you are a communications system, not a "club."

FR handles millions of communications, btw.

Twitter's TOS would appear to me to violate the law because they require people to give up a civil right.

This is your personal opinion, which is just fine. However, I hope you understand that legal interpretation is not shared by corporations large or small, or the judiciary. You may be advocating for repealing Section 230 or other changes, but your personal take is not currently reality.

Anyway, we'll see it played out this year: https://www.courthousenews.com/trumps-first-amendment-lawsuit-against-twitter-on-thin-ice/ .

U.S. District Judge James Donato told a lawyer representing the former president that while technology and law might change and evolve, “one thing that’s been more or less a constant going back 20 years is that private companies like Twitter are not subject to the First Amendment.”

Per year perhaps. Twitter handles millions per day.

If it were, we would not now be having this problem. Those people are wrong and we need to disabuse them of their wrong notions.

I am well aware that the world, more especially the government and most especially the judiciary, has lost their d@mn minds and that it is causing damage to the country and the fabric of society.

U.S. District Judge James Donato

All we need to know is who appointed him.

And *THAT* is one of the major things wrong with the legal system nowadays. The decisions will be rendered entirely based on who appointed a given judge.

That's not how the rule of law is supposed to work.

Okay, he's in Northern California, (Pawn of the big tech companies.)

He went to Harvard. (Clearly a special class of stupid.)

And he was appointed by Barack Obama. (Which means he's got to be upside down and backwards.)

So clearly he will rule on behalf of Twitter.

This was easy.
