    There is no such thing as a “neutral carrier” for social media. It’s a made-up concept used to pretend that a social media site isn’t allowed to be partisan.

    There are zero legal ramifications for making Twitter as partisan as musk wants.

      Funny how the “free speech” guy bought Twitter and made it more biased and authoritarian than it has ever been.

        Sure, he’s an asshole and a hypocrite. But there’s nothing “illegal” about it.

        Authoritarian? Definitely.

        More biased? Be real, It’s just as biased, but just in the other direction post-musk.

          I really don’t feel like it was extremely biased to the left before lol.

            I dunno, I think it was pretty blatantly one sided. I have to assume most people who agree with the bias don’t tend to see it around them though.

              I just remember arguing with wacko right wingers more then I liked lmao. Here we have a photographer getting banned, on old Twitter you had Alex Jones (and that took many years) or people literally throwing out casual violence who got banned.
