Having a Twitter account is not a right.
If you incite violence on Twitter, the company can - and should - stop you. Good call.

Always beware of powerful people pretending to be victims.

That's the real story here.

I don't trust them to get these decisions right, which is why I think they should have a heavy presumption in favor of leaving speech up--especially political leaders' speech. But if an official is truly inciting imminent violence, I don't see how they can justify not acting.

It also happens to human rights activists, too.

You know what actually *is* a Free Speech issue around Twitter suspending people?

All the black, Jewish, Muslim, LGBTQ, women, and members of all other marginalised groups whose accounts have been wrongly removed due to baseless mass-reporting by those who hate them.

Yes! And the Syrians, Iranians, Filipinos, Turks, Egyptians, Saudis, etc who have either been subject to bad sanctions law or these corporations' complicity with their autocratic leaders.

\U0001f6a8BREAKING: Trump files new federal court lawsuit in Wisconsin challenging the results of the election.https://t.co/LfKb2PUIkq

Not, I hope, Seth Abramson long. But will see.
I apologize in advance to my wife, who would very much prefer I be billing time (today's a light day, though) and to my assistant, to whom I owe some administrative stuff this will likely keep me from 😃
First, some background. Trump's suit essentially tries to Federalize the Wisconsin Supreme Court complaint his campaign filed, which we discussed here.
OK, #squidigation fans. This is a new Wisconsin case not filed by the Krake[n/d] team of Powell and Wood and NOT focusing on wild conspiracy theories. It's a competent and professional filing that raises things that would be real issues ... if you don't understand why they aren't https://t.co/ETvUiWV5du

If you haven't already, go read that thread. I'm not going to be re-doing the same analysis, and I'm not going to be cross-linking to that discussion as we go. (Sorry, I like you guys, and I see this as public service, but there are limits)
Also, @5DollarFeminist has a good stand-alone thread analyzing the new Federal complaint - it's worth reading as well, though some of the analysis will overlap.
Every one of these Trump election suits is the same gobbledygook garbage barge:

FRAUD!
It coulda happened.
Well, no, we can't prove it.
But just to be safe, best let the gerrymandered legislature give us all the electoral votes!https://t.co/Z926668H05 pic.twitter.com/xGZsJKIO7Y
PRESIDENT TRUMP: THIS MAY BE, THE MOST IMPORTANT SPEECH I'VE EVER MADE. 12/02/2020

I would like to see Democrats produce even one shred of evidence or just one example of President Trump calling for insurrection. Just one. That's all.
We welcome the presence of these activists, and we strongly urge the Capitol Police to allow them to continue to organize and participate in our democracy.
