    sounds like someone needs a safe space.

    This suit will be dismissed even faster than Postle's.

    If it was AOC that had the banhammer dropped on her because her and her followers were dangerous and spreading Socialism would we all feel the same?

    It’s a Complicated matter. These are private companies operating as a new era utility.

    Dont be so sure.. Theres alot of people including lawyers who think Trumps case actually has legs.. The argument being FB, Twatter and G have far exceeded the space for private business entity and due to their ubiquitous existence now that by doing what they have they are in fact legit infringing on free speech by censoring people but also literally censoring the flow of information and controlling the narrative to such an extreme as there is no viable alternative out there to compete thus becoming be default monopolistic entities therefore there actions can and do cause a concern for the public at large in censorship of viewpoint and opinion.. Its one thing to banhammer outright terrorists using a platform to fundraise and communicate its another to banhammer and squelch dissent due to political opinions of upper management in the Ivory tower of these corporate behemoths.. Theres a reason why the FCC requires TV stations to be relicensed and can be censored by the Feds for abuse of power and failing to operate in the public best interest.. Its gotten to that point with these massive social media giants to deny it is to be foolish about the realities of the whole picture.. Without FB and Twitter being reigned in somewhat then the 1st Amendment is in serious trouble.

    You can't really file a class action lawsuit. That's just not a thing a litigant can do. That's a designation the court gives, if they so choose.

    This is just another massive Trump fundraising opportunity. Like everything else he does.

    The lawsuit won't gain any traction, Trump will claim victimhood as he does, he'll have raised tens of millions of dollars for himself, and he's gonna fuck his lawyers by not paying them in the end. That's the most likely outcome, IMO, AINEC.

    Same as it ever was.

    Very true, but if we want them regulated, say as a common carrier, that’s going to come from Congress. This lawsuit is obviously meritless unless the law changes.

    yeah, where ryback said "a lot of people and lawyers think ...", he really should say "a lot of people, and what appears to be a very small minority of lawyers, think..."

    or maybe "a lot of lawyers, not all of them may be able to practice law anymore"

    The suit is bullshit and indeed is likely for attention/fundraising, but he's also correct regarding his assessments of social media and its unchecked bias/power.

    If you are in favor of free speech- and that shouldnt be a subjective term- you are in favor of curtailing these tech companies after what they have been doing these past several years.

    LOL conservatives complaining about “unchecked bias/power” when they lauded or ignored Trump’s numerous unchecked abuses of presidential power with the help of Bill Barr and the GOPers in Congress. Real tight consistency on that notion, Bub.

    His assessment that it is unconstitutional for private entities to have free speech?
    Apparently it is constitutional to force private entities to publish your speech.

    ....

    wow if this is "conservatism"

    The Constitution protects us from the government AFAIK.

    I have not looked into Trump's case precisely but his article talks about the Constitution.

    However if you want to talk about this in relation to section 230 then I'm not sure who dictated publishers can't also remove people off their platform. Section 230 doesn't mean that everyone has to publish porn if they fall under section 230 or whatever. That's crazy.

    Rubbish, you fuckin monkey.
