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.

    Obviously, you've forgotten about Bill Ayers, and Patty Hearst, among others. Basically, you're claiming that no murder charges have stuck to a lefty in recent years.

    Heh, that's the best you've got? Yeaaaah, kinda illustrates the point. Crazy righty is much more dangerous than crazy lefty. On top of that, Ayers was an anti-government activist, I would think you 2nd amendment folks would appreciate someone doing their duty to fight against the oppressive government yoke! Hypocrites for days.

    Go suck a lemon, might sweeten you up.
