Twitter has filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, claiming the Republican used his office to retaliate against it for banning the account of former President Donald Trump following the riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Days after the deadly January insurrection, Paxton announced an investigation into Twitter and four other major technology companies for what he called “the seemingly coordinated de-platforming of the President.” The attorney general’s office demanded that the companies produce a variety of records related to their content moderation policies and troves of internal communications.

In December, Paxton led 10 Republican attorneys general in suing Google for allegedly running an illegal digital-advertising monopoly in cahoots with Facebook.

Twitter’s counterpunch comes as states, in addition to federal lawmakers and governments outside the U.S., are cracking down on tech companies they see as having amassed too much power in the past decade. This includes antitrust and anti-monopoly regulation, internet privacy laws as well as attempts to regulate how platforms like Twitter, Facebook and others moderate their sites.

Good, government needs to leave private companies alone as long as they are not breaking laws.
If you the public don't like what a private company is legally doing, for fricks sakes stop using that company.

Stop using the company that deplatformed them.

So let me get this straight. Twitter can sue people but people can’t sue Twitter because of section 230.
Seems a little fricked up no?

They love to say this. Like we lost 1,000 people bleeding out on the Capitol steps.
It's so obvious what they are doing and most people can't see it.

Who says for sure they aren't? Would an investigation not determine that?

Amazon isn't going anywhere even if millions decided to end their Prime sub immediately. Cute of the troll to think otherwise.

I totally forgot that private companies are typically cloaked in legislative immunity and granted special governmental protections. Who'd-a-thunk.
