Sir - Why must you rail against your holy god Capitalism? Twitter is a private company. They are there to make money, which is the be all and end all of human existence. I will also refer you to Citizen’s United. Dollars, even dollars that drown out the voices of others, are free speech. If you want to be free to type lies on a little machine, I strongly suggest you spend your money taking down Citizen’s United, instead of being angry at a moneymaking giant.
sincerely

Why is the front page of the New York Times silencing my free speech rights? Not ONCE have they allowed me to contribute my thoughts.
As far as I am aware “assholes” and “racists” aren’t a protected class in terms of discrimination laws.
Is the name “Jared” thoroughly besmirched yet? Or is there more besmirching to do? It’s a little like the middle name “Wayne.” Or the last name “Trump.”
Hot new Twitter tag … @JaredTaylorShuttheF**kUp.
Not sure what to say about that third picture…
Someone is about to pay some serious money so that a judge can read out the TOS in court.
How fun.
Well golly gee why don’t Taylor and all the other supremacists start their own Twittler enterprise? Wouldn’t that stick a middle finger in Twitter’s eye? Lazy bunch of slackers want everyone to bow down to them but they won’t help themselves by incorporating.
This is good. He’ll have to show up in court, helping expose his vitriolic pustule of a face. If he has a job, he needs to be shining up his resume.

Such a kindly looking ObergruppenfĂĽhrer.
Now, I ask you: How could that face send millions to their deaths?
With cattle cars?
And crematoria?
In a heartbeat?
Not a White Nationalist–a White Internationalist!! Go big or go home!!
He will lose his case, so have at it. Big threats from a small and impotent little nazi swine.
I swear I didn’t know who half these assholes were until tRump became Pissident. As soon as tRump is gone we can get back to people like this being forced to go back under those slimy rocks they crawled out from under these last couple years…That’s where people like this belong. Like Hair Furor, this guy’s days to sow hate by mingling with the masses in this country, are numbered.
Ah, Twitter is a private company who sets terms of service policies which they can also change whenever they want.
There is zero 1A issue here.
My brother and sister-in-law are moving to Austin as snowbirds next year. They just bought a condo there. If you don’t mind me asking, do you like it in Austin? My niece lives there too, but I don’t talk to her much.
That is the winning argument if this were a US Constitution 1st Amendment case, but Taylor is framing his case as a violation of the state constitution. The California Constitution has a much broader freedom of speech provision:
ARTICLE 1 DECLARATION OF RIGHTS
SEC. 2. (a) Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right.
There is a string of state cases that hold the right of free speech can be claimed, not just against government entities and officials, but private businesses that are regularly held open to the public. The cases usually involve shopping centers attempting to limit free speech activities like proselytizing or distributing leaflets. Taylor is trying to push the boundaries, which is strange since conservatives usually prioritize property rights over free speech. The only thing consistent about their political ideology is its inconsistency.
@katscherger Is this in your bailiwick?
Note to self if I am ever in legal trouble don’t hire a lawyer who is too stupid to understand the difference between the First Amendment and a private company.
I’ve come across one such case, but no, I’m not an expert in the area. I’m more like a jack of all trades.
I loved living in Austin, but I moved away in 2011, alas. It’s a great city. Crowded, and now expensive, but a great place still.
This has also happened to me! CONSPIRACY!!!
