@ariegoldshlager @taylorlorenz ngl the Post Guild should consider a 1A lawsuit as Elon provided no reason to ban her.

@91toph @ariegoldshlager @taylorlorenz Elon banning her is upsetting and stupid, and arguably problematic due to Twitter’s outsized influence, but whether Elon needs a “reason” to ban anyone is a more complicated question. 1A surely doesn’t apply.

@chucker @ariegoldshlager @taylorlorenz But like i've said, Alex Berenson can get away with it using The 1A as grounds for a lawsuit to reinstate his Twitter account.

@91toph @chucker @ariegoldshlager @taylorlorenz AB didn’t win based on a 1A argument. He won because he had received private guarantees by twitter employees that he wouldn’t get banned. It was functionally a contract argument.

@IMH @91toph @chucker @ariegoldshlager @taylorlorenz exactly. He may have couched his rhetoric about it in 1A/free speech language, but that wasn’t the basis of his actual legal argument.
