'If Musk continues down this road, Twitter won’t be a beacon of free speech, but a miasmic, malodorous swamp,' writes columnist hiltzikm.
In their lawsuit, Bhattacharya and his co-plaintiffs accuse the Biden White House, seven federal agencies and Fauci, among others, of staging one of the federal government’s greatest assaults on freedom of speech “in the nation’s history.”
The lawsuit calls this a “unique liability shield,” but that’s false. The shield is exactly the same as the one enjoyed by bookstores and magazine stands, which can’t be sued over the content of the books and periodicals they sell. But as Bhattacharya admits, no such “published take down” ever appeared. Instead, he claims, “covert” censorship took place.
That doesn’t appear to be true of Musk-era Twitter. On Monday, Musk abruptly dissolved the platform’s independent Trust and Safety Council, which advised executives on moderation policies.
