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.

    This:

    You can't ignore it. They'll just go underground and find an echo chamber while claiming to be a victim of censorship, thereby making them seem even more credible in the eyes of dummies who find them. If you're right that people will mindlessly listen to such people, then we're doomed no matter what, but less doomed if they are openly challenged.

    is competely wrong.

    Stating the evident, one letter at a time, magister, aren't you?

    What else can one do, though?
    No, seriously, don't take it as rhetorical Q. There's seldom a single solution, what others are there?
