The only reason they use the word "constitutional" is because they want the conservative supreme court to make a ruling to allow hate speech.

Meanwhile, conservatives also want to ban books about love.

This really has nothing to do with technology though. Quite the contrary. Twitter isn't technology. It's a tool for making dark age politics.

Also because they're fond of pretending that if something they're doing isn't expressly forbidden in the constitution, that means it's VIRTUOUS and must be protected at all costs!

On the other hand, anything that their opponents do that isn't expressly MANDATED by the constitution is villainy most foul and must be outlawed and penalised with at least a decade of ~~enslavement that is highly lucrative to the owner donors~~ imprisonment

Why is anyone calling it X?

The sign still says Twitter, the domain still says Twitter, it's still Twitter.

I call it X/Twitter/whatever just to add some frustration and negative sentiment to the branding in my own circles. A reminder that the platform's been poisoned and it isn't what people should be using.

“If @X has nothing to hide, then they should have no objection to this bill,” Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel, who wrote AB 587, said in response to X’s lawsuit.”

The government breaks out absolute worst argument they could

It's the same argument that conservatives use so they will understand.

Did you expect any better of an argument from the type of politician who thinks they're entitled to this kind of intrusive bullshit?

X? The only "X" i recognize is DMX, R.I.P.

"content moderation" is a slimy way to say censorship.

"Leave the richest man on earth alone!" he yelled out, weilding his katana in a reverse grip... for some reason.

Said the person who has never been a moderator or has any clue about moderation.

This is an instance where scanning over someone’s post history might elucidate why they are spewing bullshit. HINT: it’s SOP for that account.
