[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5479946, member: 24302"] Bet you won't reply. Twitter, a private company, can choose who it allows to speak on its platform. It's not a First Amendment violation if Twitter decides it doesn't want conservatives to openly disagree with liberal positions. However, if a government entity tells Twitter to ban this person or group because the government doesn't like what they're saying then Twitter and the government have crossed the line that isn't allowed by the First Amendment. The government went so far as to do it secretly and was paying Twitter millions to make sure they were getting what they asked for. We aren't the greatest country on Earth if our government is allowed to make a mockery of our Constitution. Those responsible should be held to account just as severely as those who planned and coordinated the January 6th riot. If not more so because those government employees took an oath when hired to protect an uphold the Constitution. That they did it secretly demonstrates they knew what they were doing was illegal so to not prosecute them for violating civil rights would suggest, no, scream that only one side of the aisle gets protected by the government.
