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.

    Just because there is a grain of truth in your thought does not mean that your posts are the exception that proves crowd wisdom wrong. Right and wrong are often a very fuzzy concept, and depending on the context the same exact through could be considered both. Stop complaining and start working on your writing approach.

    I more or less agree. Except with the phrase "crowd wisdom". Grouping humans together lowers the average intelligence for every head added.
