All true and we believed it without all of the evidence that Musk is releasing. So what are the consequences? Tell us how justice will be served? Hard to get dead people back.

I’m having a hard time picturing the government being held accountable. I assume accountability would target specific individuals?

I hope you are right in that these arguments and precedents will hold. I know they will say the govt never forced them, they took down such posts on their own desire, and heck they are a private company don't you know!

I think the one thing that is indisputable would be violation of FEC rules in that twitter was aiding a candidate and that candidate did not declare the massive "donation" it was getting from Twitter, FB, etc... I would think that's at least a way to get the Biden team convicted of Fraud... which of course will have zero impact other than to get Rs voted completely out of office for being even more election deniers

it's hopeless :-(

So who is going to litigate and who will be the defendant? Civil or criminal court? You? Berenson? Class action?

I agree with all this info! But struggling to see what will come of it since DOJ is corrupt to the core!

Here’s my question:

Why doesn’t twitter delete violative accounts altogether?

Is it because they don’t own the content of someone’s account?
