@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.
@chucker @taylorlorenz @91toph @ariegoldshlager In America you can file a lawsuit claiming anything, no matter how spurious. The First Amendment absolutely does not constrain private entities — just read the damn thing — and the only reason a First Amendment lawsuit against a corporation might work is that they might give in to avoid having to waste money on lawyers to fight it.
@taylorlorenz @chucker @ariegoldshlager @91toph Elon is burning over a billion dollars a year to ruin Twitter, so I’m pretty sure he’d spend $10k more on lawyers to “own the libs”.
