    Ironic that right wing seditionists are suddenly begging the ACLU to help their cause.

    Twitter and Facebook stock still down. Not a good business plan to drop thousands of people and content.

    I don't think that counts as a statement from the ACLU. It came from one lawyer (Steve Herman or Kate R.) of the ACLU who may simply be voicing his own opinion. NOt sure though.

    Then that's disappointing, because it's already a pretty tepid statement. The ACLU should be absolutely terrified that an oligopolistic company, or group of, can effectively decide who gets to run a business or voice their opinion on what has become essentially the only medium for public dialogue. And they can do so with absolute impunity.
    It's not good for business for those companies to ban users. But what are they supposed to do since Trump was already on triple probation for violating the terms of use? In fact Twitter stock plummeted following...
    God forbid twitter might have the power to modify its own terms of service....


    That's as bullshit an excuse as a business hiding behind "that's our policy'" with a dissatisfied customer. Ok -then change the fucking policy. Maybe the policy is wrong.

    if $5 billion was all they lost - no biggie, they will bounce back.

    They only way they get hurt is if the major corporations stop advertising. What I have heard major advertising is being pulled from other companies/businesses that supported the Trumpster - until they denounce the Trumpster and apologize publicly the bans and non-support will continue.

    I'm fine with all these people and companies revealing themselves for who they are
