Gee willikers, that sure sounds like it would be illegal. I mean if I were to do this sort of thing, I’m imagining I would be in jail, awaiting trial.
as far as I can tell, none of those laws apply to censorship on what is ultimately a private company’s platform.
Like twitter isn’t a government agency. they’re allowed to be partisan and delete content however they see fit. This would be similar to, say, a newspaper electing to not cover trump’s awkward moments while covering Harris’ awkward moments; or a bakery offering pro-harris cake or cookies but not pro-trump stuff.
the constitution only bars government or public agents from infringing on free speech- it does not bar you from kicking your asshat trumper out of thanksgiving dinner.
so far, the only thing I can see that Musk has done that is against election law is to solicit donors with the $47 he promised to recruiters, so to speak… and that’s… well… I’m not sure that’s going to be an easy case to win.
