The Knight Institute, which successfully sued President Donald Trump over his decision to block dozens of users on Twitter from his personal @realdonaldtrump account, argued that Ocasio-Cortez’s account “is a ‘public forum’ within the meaning of the First Amendment” guaranteeing free speech and noted that her tweets staking out political positions “have made headline news.” [More]
If the medium really legally can be considered a public forum, how can they block, shadowban and demonetize accounts that present matters of public interest, including those that should be headline news but don't support the favored narrative?
Proud to be currently suspended at the cesspool known as Twitter. My account @witold_pilecki will stay that way until I delete an offending tweet from over two years ago. Someone had to go into my profile, scroll through a couple thousand tweets just to find one that triggered them enough to report. After deletion, I will then be banished to Twitter jail for a unknown length of sentence. Last time it was seven days.
