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.

    Trump didn't bring them out. Antifa, among others, did more to bring out racism and latent racism than Trump could ever have done. Take your average white guy, who lives among White, Black, Latino, and Asian neighbors. Run multiple protests through his neighborhood, with the theme, "White men are evil!" What reaction do you expect from that white guy? The exact same reaction one would get from Jews in Europe, or Blacks in Asia, or any other group anywhere else. They band together for comfort and mutual support.

    Today's fascists wear progressive labels, instead of brown shirts, but they are the younger brothers to the people who put Hitler in power.

    Your lunacy seems to have really topped off with the last few political articles. The worst part of Antifa is that they give you worms an excuse to wriggle out of your holes and proclaim the sky is green.

    I'm sure Trump's "Antiiiifffaaaaaa" proclamations had noooothing to do with your ignorance and anger. At least he made sure everyone knows that all Latino immigrants are murdering thieving rapists /s

      Tell us what happened to the Jews in Europe when powerful people started hating on them.
