Not that it's as big as Trump being banned from Twitter but about 6 months ago I was banned from commenting on youtube videos...for life...for having stated in a post that there are only 2 sexes and that you can't change your sex.

I "appealed" the decision and their reply was that I had clearly violated some "community standard".

Twitter,Facebook,Youtube,etc must be forbidden by law to censor speech that's not approved by Rat Party Headquarters.

Can’t they claim in their defense that they’re not truly a “state actor” since they only act on the wishes of one political party?

This is a big case with multiple concepts at play. I hope he wins each and every one of them.

The Swamp’s legal army will act to protect censorship by Big Tech as long as it targets conservative speech.

Nice to see someone taking this crap to court, rather than singing: “Woe is me!” and “It’s not fair”.

If Section 230 gets thrown out, that will do more to stop the drive towards Fascism here than just about anything else.

IIRC, Trump asked for 230 to be looked at in an executive ordr....and Biden did the opposite.

May Twitter and all these Leftist Propaganda social media outlets rue the day they began making illegal political contributions-in-kind to the Democrat agenda. They declared themselves to be content providers, and not content carriers as per Section 230.

Big Tech has some very clever attorneys, that’s for sure, who know the ways around the law better than the regulators. Still, this is our best shot. Trump was barred from blocking troll followers on his twitter account because that was deemed “viewpoint discrimination”. Applying the same standard (I know, good luck, right) would suggest Dr. Shiva just can’t be banned by twitter. But again, the opposition has the tech, the lawyers, $$, everything.

It sounds like this could have interesting far reaching effects. Recently, the Biden cabal has mentioned or hinted that they might be attempting to investigate or out “extremists” via NGO or private proxy groups. These would monitor social media “organs”, and compile their “lists” of people to... award one way tickets to Siberia... hehehe~!

I would think that this would include FR. Probably has for years. Trolls are nothing new here. Remember Ash or Tacobad? This ruling may explode CDA 230, and allow lawsuits against the Social Media company or any other private canaries that the government may hire. A game changer, if it really happens.

As The Beatles sang, Let it Be. Twitter’s political bans are corrupt and need to be stopped.

Will go straight to the appeal court.

Where’s the “And so it begins” guy?
