Judge Rules Twitter Can Be Sued For Falsely Advertising They Allow Free Speech
The judge rejected Twitter’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit from Jared Taylor, who was banned by the platform in December last year, according to Breitbart. Taylor, a self-described “white activist” may proceed with his lawsuit against Twitter because the social media company falsely advertises free speech, yet bans users for “any or no reason.” The judge also ruled that Twitter could be sued on the basis of misleading its users, due to the platform’s promise not to ban accounts on the basis of viewpoint or political affiliation, which is frequently violated.

while i may not like his message, my options are to simply ignore him vs. force my undying morally correct will upon him. but as a platform - they cannot stop one segment from their "right" to speak and then allow others.
lots of lawsuits should be coming in now.
