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.

    Well being mentally challenged I guess we can't expect you to do basic math. Even here in CA I see more violence from racist shitbags than any antifa shitheads. Keep trying to play the victim minority card, it is pathetic but a little entertaining. MUH OPPRESSION BROTHER!

    Well you would, wouldn't you? Expecting anything else from the mainstream media is foolish. Doubly so in California.
