We know the trick. This does not stop big tech, it helps them kill their competition, because alt-tech cannot survive in an envrionment where they can be sued for 3rd party content. BigTech is the only ones that can deal with the legalities of posting 3rd party content.

They're never going to stop trying to kill the internet.

Trump can easily sue them. This isn't about the content anymore. They're insinuating he promotes and condones violence. He does not. He stated clearly that there will be an orderly transition on 20th. Stating he won't be attending the ceremony does not incite the violence. He needs to sue them big time. Twitter can't be responsible for the content posted on their platform, but they're responsible for their own actions and words. Trump's good name has been tarnished here.

If Trump can sue, great! But, that's not what the article is promoting.

At the bottom...

Either Section 230 needs to be repealed, and Twitter must responsibly police who it hosts, or Twitter needs to step back and let the public decide what is acceptable or not.

Repealing 230 HELPS Twitter and big tech because it kills alt-tech and potential competition. The article is a trick.

You clearly don't understand law. The reason is irrelevant. They own the platform and have the 1st amendment right to allow or deny who they see fit. Any suit would get tossed.

You're first amendment ends when you start spreading fake news about somebody. If somebody calls you a pedo, there's basis for litigation. There are tons of ways of going about it. Twitter's been discriminating him for quite some time. You have a dude who threatens to wipe out Israel, but he doesn't get banned or his post removed.
