@ariegoldshlager @taylorlorenz ngl the Post Guild should consider a 1A lawsuit as Elon provided no reason to ban her.
@91toph @ariegoldshlager @taylorlorenz The First Amendment doesn't apply to private media companies. That's why they don't have to publish your letter to the editor.
@steventdennis @ariegoldshlager @taylorlorenz Sure, but Alex Berenson can still get back his Twitter account by suing Twitter using the 1A as an argument. If Twitter doesn't want to bother to face a lawsuit by Alex Berenson of all people, I doubt they'd maintain Taylor's ban out of similar fears.

@91toph @steventdennis @ariegoldshlager @taylorlorenz

1A does not apply. Twitter is not the federal government.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Twitter settled & it wasn’t because of 1A. Judge didn’t accept 1A claim; J allowed case to proceed based on breach of contract (because of promises made by a Twitter exec in email).

“Internet-service executives have always been instructed by lawyers not to talk with people about their individual accounts and not to make any promises about what might happen, Goldman said, “for reasons that should now be obvious.””

Alex Berenson Is Back on Twitter

A year after he was banned, Alex Berenson sued his way back. Are more lawsuits coming?
