The social media giant may be guilty of violating of California law regarding discriminating against a political class, and being deceptive to their customer base. Twitter, by discriminating against people on the right, has exposed itself to a potential cascade of legal liability—including a potential class action suit.
Despite being from dangerous.com, this is not an attempted troll. The author gives a quite interesting analysis of Twitter's potential legal issues in censoring political speech in California.

Strong case by a notorious harrasser [jimchines.com]. I hope he's got a lot of money to hire lawyers, between this and his fight with SFWA and the court costs, he's gonna need it.

You know pedophiles are politically active. I guess they're a protected class now.
All three branches of our government have now been totally subverted.

I know the contrary, my friend.
I know the professional politically actives are paedophiles.

Not in the least. The guy got banned from twitter for doing the same things he got banned from those other places. His behavior has been excessive, to say the least. That means he's got an enormous hurdle to clear with the courts. TL;DR Good Luck With That.

I think someone (or some people) need to explain the Troll Mod they flipped out.
Or has S/N actually become a center for white supremacist trash?

No, just people who know some actual alt-right people, and they are not so bad as they are painted to be, they just hate Jews and Blacks and Hispanics, and Injuns, and women. So it's like that. Sympathizers, not actually white supremacists themselves, just "wanna-be" white-supremacists, cause they can't really be, since like weev, they actually are what they hate. Explains the troll mod, no?
