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.

    I think someone (or some people) need to explain the Troll Mod they flipped out.
    Or has S/N actually become a center for white supremacist trash?

    No, just people who know some actual alt-right people, and they are not so bad as they are painted to be, they just hate Jews and Blacks and Hispanics, and Injuns, and women. So it's like that. Sympathizers, not actually white supremacists themselves, just "wanna-be" white-supremacists, cause they can't really be, since like weev, they actually are what they hate. Explains the troll mod, no?
