If They Let Us Get Away with This on Bump Stocks, We Can Get Away with It on Anything

WarOnGuns Correspondent Robert B sent me this link along with a thought I have not seen elsewhere:

Isn't throttling some of the most popular conservative channels doing a disservice to Facebook's shareholders and ultimately violating the corporation's fiduciary duty? Could ultimately be a Sec violation for surreptitiously devaluing company stock? Is Favebook violating the law?

I don't have an answer to that. It brings to mind the nuns buying minimal shares to be able to call for a board response as has happened at S&W and Ruger, but this has the added element of invoking regulators. 

If you have an informed opinion on that, please share it.

Was the Pakistani government involved in this warning and has there been collusion with Twitter "legal" in what some could view as a conspiracy to deprive an American citizen of rights?

If this can happen to a prominent conservative journalist of national standing, how much more chilling would this be on a citizen without the reach to call attention to being targeted?

Since a foreign government has been implicated, would this not be the province of FBI, State and DOJ to investigate and ensure no violations of U.S. law have occurred -- and to hold persons and governments accountable if there were? Would it hurt to ask?

Or would whoever is doing the "official" chilling want to add another target and platform?
