Californias censorship law itself is unconstitutional, but that doesn’t mean Twitter had to take it down globally. They could have only taken it down in CA.

But we all know that’s not why they did what they did, they conspired against the people of the United States.

They did this under the order and direction of United States Government employees

Truly incredible the way in which people see whatever they want to see in this story. From Taibbi himself:

“there’s no evidence - that I've seen - of any government involvement in the laptop story”

Irrelevant, we have Zuckerberg himself admitting to being “primed” by FBI for the hunter Biden story.

We have members of the Biden campaign linking tweets and high level Twitter officers replying “handled” (read in your favorite Italian accent).

Criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.

Please stop spreading misinformation. FBI gave only a broad warning: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/fbi-responds-...

Zuckerberg didn't actually say that FBI ordered him to do anything. Facebook silenced the story on their own. He mentioned FBI to confuse people and make himself look good.

Twitter censoring the Hunter Biden story (the NYPost article) was unacceptable. But I really don't see anything wrong with reporting tweets containing revenge pornography, which 1) violates Twitter ToS 2) is illegal in California.

Sorry, are you calling California's anti-revenge porn laws unconstitutional censorship?
