Ken WhiteGovernment has no business either forcing a site to platform Nick Fuentes or forcing them to ban him. The decision of whether to have Nick Fuentes on your site is an exercise of First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and association. It can be a very clear statement of values.
Richard Keppler@Popehat straw man. Government did neither.
cohomology is FUN!@RichardKeppler @Popehat state governments in Texas and Florida are trying.
@cohomologyisFUN @Popehat My assumption was always that these were noisy PR stunts that didn’t have a prayer of being enforced. Particularly state laws.
With respect to ‘Twitter Files’ type stuff, yes Twitter was working in close consultation with FBI, CIA, NIH and Congressional officials. However without any ability by those agencies to force Twitter to do anything, that is just Twitter behaving in accordance with their own wishes.

@RichardKeppler @Popehat I agree they are mostly PR stunts, but the Texas law was upheld by an appeals court. I hope (and @Popehat would know better than I) that the law will ultimately be struck down.
I agree with what you’re saying re Twitter files.
