So, it's been admitted in court that the twitter is a tool


Apr 18, 2021, 9:07 PM

of censorship for the government. Yet another "crazy conspiracy theory" that turns out to be true.

Shiva Ayyadurai's Lawsuit Against A Massachusetts Official Actually Raises An Interesting 1st Amendment Question About Election Disinformation
It hasn't garnered that much public attention, but a couple weeks ago Shiva Ayyadurai decided to sue Massachusetts' Secretary William Galvin, claiming that efforts to have some of Shiva's tweets removed from Twitter violated the 1st...

Double-standards through and through. No honest person can deny it.

What does "admitted in court" mean?

I looked at the story you linked but not sure what admission you're referring to.

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.

complete information in the article. I used this article because it isn't from a "favorable" source, such as someone that supports Dr. Shiva.

The key piece is this:

"So, then, the question is whether or not O'Malley reporting the tweet to Twitter was a "threat to squelch the free speech of private citizens." And I think there's a pretty strong argument that it was. You can argue back that using the report feature that is built into Twitter is not actually doing anything other than providing speech, but even O'Malley admitted she hoped it would lead to the tweet being removed, and there's not much reason to use the report feature except because you hope that Twitter will then remove the speech. And since the report was apparently coming from the same person who managed Massachusetts' election division's Twitter account, you would expect that Twitter would take it extra seriously."

This also not the whole-truth, as it leaves out the fact that the government officials have an extra reporting tool that a normal user does not have. So they have preferential treatment by Twitter to block posts, and they use it. This is a violation of the first amendment.

Ah, I get it now, thanks. That's really interesting, and yes it seems like a serious 1st Amendment issue where a government official tries to get speech removed.
