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.

    In order to win, they'll have to prove that they lost something of value from Twitter because they're Republicans or Libertarians or maybe conservatives.

    Well, they could claim they have lost their minds! But the difficulty with this approach is, being that they're Republicans or Livertarians, is that they would have to prove that they ever did have right minds, or minds at all. I sense a loosing case.

    I warned you not to drink that cheap wine, or to eat that rancid chili. Now, you can just suffer with your diarrhea. Stay out of the kitchen and the living room - hell, just stay out of the house. I'll toss some blankets out the window, and you can sleep with the dog. The two of you should enjoy sniffing each other's asses.

      As khallow recently observed, "The shit must flow." Unfortunately, I took this as a reference to Arrakis, where the shit in question is Worm shit, also know as spice.

      It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
