Everyone that's been censored on X should get together and file a class action lawsuit. X and Elon are in clear violation of the 'safe harbor' clause in Section 230 that legally indemnifies a site from content produced by 3rd parties. But Section 230 only allows for moderation of content in 'good faith' not editorialization of content which X and Elon are definitively engaging in. If X was found to be in violation of Section 230 it would be legally liable for all content on the site even if posted by a 3rd party.

Sure, that's likely to get somewhere.

Just let nature take it's course and Twitter die on the vine.

Why the sarcasm and hopelessness? 'Do nothing' is an act of despair, not really a solution.

We tried nothing and nothing worked.

Action in inaction.
