The Satanic Temple, an activist group based in Salem, Massachusetts, is threatening to sue Twitter for religious discrimination after one of its co-founders had his Twitter account permanently suspended.

Lucien Greaves, the Satanic Temple's co-founder and spokesman, said his Twitter account was permanently suspended without any notice after he asked his followers to report a tweet that called for the Satanic Temple to be burned down.

"We're talking to lawyers today," Greaves said Friday about whether he planned to take legal action.

    I, um, read the first comment after the story.

    You fail to decouple the intention from the consequences. But then, when a guy says MAGA, he's a true patriot, and all that happens contrary to his stated goal is mere bad luck eh?

    Satanic temple complaining about (one of their own likely) menacing them (so they get headlines), is like neonazis or antifas reclaiming rights they would deny others. So, while I don't argue that it's lawful for them to be back on twitter, I say it would be fair to treat them according to the ideals they indirectly push nonetheless.
