Says the gender-deranged boomer.
I have a sincere dislike for freepers like you who do nothing but stir up crap. You’re worthless when it comes to helping others understand what is going on with our government. I asked for understanding, and I received it from two or three others, but you? All you want to do is be a dick. So, bring the heat, get it thrown right back at you.
The feeling is mutual.
If a Democrat politician used the DNC to shield them from having an American banned from Twitter, that is actively denying them their free speech rights.

Federalism. Deep state blocks punishment at the Federal. NY has been willing to take on Trump by itself. There should be GOP state AGs cooperating to find and charge components of this chargeable within their own jurisdictions and fighting Federal efforts to shut them down with fake investigations leading to Federal discretionary no charges. Any win, anywhere, will embolden more to try.
I see where you’re going with those questions and you’re right. Musk did take Twitter private recently (it is now delisted) however even when they were publicly traded, they were a private sector entity. Therefore, they have the absolute right to choose who gets to use their platform, who to ban or who not to ban, for whatever reason or no reason. Just like FreeRepublic. Or a radio station dumping a caller. Or a restaurant with a dress code refusing entry. So Twitter can never be in violation of 1A. If there was “town hall” legislation enacted it would have been different but nothing of the sort was ever enacted. Further, since the Biden campaign & DNC are both non-governmental agencies, a 1A violation is not applicable there, either. The only place a 1A violation is applicable is if the FIB or another gubment agency were directly calling the shots for bans or story spikes to social platforms. It’s already been reported they only provided “general recommendations” i.e. beware Russian hack or disinformation, with a “wink” and a “nod” to specifics like Hunter Biden laptop. So I have no doubt there will be no smoking gun and that no gubment agency will be on record saying “kill this story” or the like because 1. they don’t have to get specific in most cases and 2. story killing and narrative control from the deeeeeep state to the MSM & Socials are finely tuned machines, with whispers & secret avenues for dissemination that we could only imagine. Its been going on for decades and decades. Bottom line is that there is no doubt in my mind all of this is another planned sideshow. Once again our side will be focusing on this minor & stupid Twitter crap for months and years. Congress will hold their hearings to show they are doing something about these horrors and in the end it will amount to absolutely nothing. No one will ever be charged. All the while the real crimes of treason, money laundering and election rigging continues unabated.
Thank you, and for what it’s worth, I agree. Nothing will come of it other than a shutdown communication path from the DNC to Twitter... Possibly Facebook and others.
Of course it's not. A single congressman has no power but persuasion and isn't the government.
It wasn't a "single Congressman," it was a culture of contacts from the Democrats to their insiders at Twitter via the DNC, according to the dump.
It had become a systematized conduit to deny the free speech of opponents to Democrats.

It was a political effort to make the Democrats look good and the Republicans look bad.
Exactly what any competent campaign would do.
And if you think the Republicans didn't have organized programs to influence the media - particularly conservative media - you're hopelessly naïve.
Not to mention that Twitter doesn't have the power to stop anyone from speaking.
Twitter’s obedience to these requests should be considered an in-kind contribution to the DNC under federal election law.
The FBI is involved but Apples threat to deplatform Twitter to keep the feds out of it.
The FBI went to Facebook (and others) telling them that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
That is the gov’t colluding to suppress the First Amendment during an election.
The voters who said they'd have voted for Trump if they only knew of the New York Post's Hunter Biden story would say otherwise.
-PJ
The NY Post and other outlets published the story. It was out there.
Are you saying information is available only of it's on Twitter?
How many potential Trump voters do you think get their news only from Twitter?
Huh. Zuckerberg says the FBI didn't mention Hunter or the laptop.
Therefore illegal.
Rather than folks sue Twitter they should pursue a class action suit against former leadership for their undeclared advocacy.
The FBI is the government. They were watching Guiliani's account and knew the Hunter Biden story was going to break so Big Tech was told to label it "misinformation/disinformation"/

Who are you to say how much abridgement is required?
Would you argue that a person who was denied the right to vote on election day wasn't abridged because they could have voted early or by mail? It's their choice to exercise their right, and nobody else's to take it away.
-PJ
Where in the hell did that right come from? In what other private platforms and publications do people have a right to speak?

We have the right to vote, not to Tweet.
