Stresses the importance of twitter by saying that a candidate it isn't on Twitter is a losing candidate. Now, are to Jack Dorsey, and there have trust in safety on the jargon podcast that if they didn't old american legal standards of discourse, but only matter before lawmakers came after them, not all They are we seeing this losses, but in Florida the snake, love and anti censorship, but was passed. That would restrict censorship on certain grounds. Today, let's Look it what's going out this lawsuit, whether it has merit and then take a look at the legislation in Florida which could potentially change things in our country Deal with social media and censorship, but before we get started, make sure you subscribe to our new channel Youtube Dotcom, Slash, sub verse videos. The goal of this channel is to produce straight lace, news on the ground reporting an export interviews, so we can strip

Some users seeks over two hundred and fifty million dollars, alleging anti conservative shadow bands and smears. Now before we read this, I do want to point out. There is a conflicting narrative coming from the Washington Post clearly, this issue is extremely political and the Washington Post Highlights the more absurd claims made by newness, which, in my opinion, are worthy of criticism. But, let's start by reading Fox NEWS to see what their take on the issue is. California, GEO P never noticed file a major lawsuit seeking to under fifty million dollars and compensatory damages, and three hundred fifty thousand dollars in punitive damages against twitter and a handful of its use. Sunday, accusing the social media sight of shadow banning conservatives to secretly hide their posts,

this domestically censoring opposing viewpoints and totally ignoring lawful complaints of repeated abusive behaviour in a complaint found in Virginia State Court on Monday, obtained by Fox NEWS, newness claimed Twitter wanted to derail his work on the House Intelligence Committee, which he chaired until twenty nineteen. As you looked into alleged and apparent surveillance abuses by government Newton said Twitter was guilty of knowingly hosting and monetizing content. That is clearly abusive, hateful and defamatory, providing bull of a vote it's an financial incentive to the DE famers, thereby facilitating defamation on its platform? Deafens legal team rights, twitter created and develop the content at issue in this case by transforming false accusations of criminal conduct, imputed wrongdoing, dishonesty and lack of integrity into a publicly available commodity used by unscrew. Less political operatives and their donor clients as a weapon. Twitter is responsible for the development of offensive conduct on its platform because it in some

I specifically encourages development of what is offensive about the content. The lawsuit is separate from it in his work on the house intelligence, many where he is now the ranking member. Additionally, as the complaint stated, twitter has a duty to exercise reasonable care to avoid hosting outwardly defamatory content because of its increasingly important role in current affairs access to Twitter is essential for meaningful participation in modern day american democracy. The complete stated a candidate without Twitter is a losing candidate. The ability to use twitter is a vital part of modern citizenship. A presence on where is essential for an individual to run for office or engage in any level of political, organizing in modern America? That is because twitter is not merely a website. It is the modern town Square Twitter is equivalent to the private owner of a public form, was fully opened its property to the general public for purposes of permitting the public's free expression and debate that

It is in fact what Twitter has always claimed to be, and this is an extremely important point, but actually brought up on your Rogan podcast there's something called a pups, a privately owned public space, and this is extremely relevant during Occupy Wall Street Zoo Cati Park, where the protesters was privately owned and there was an argument that protesters had no right to be there because it was private property. However, they successfully argued that if you welcome people in the public to come on to your space, then you must welcome the protests as well. In response to this applause. A closed occupy watery actually barricaded off its public space, because even those privately owned they knew protesters could come and occupy like they weren't you copy. This is the argument presented to twitter. Twitter is privately owned, but it is a public forum. They opened their doors to everyone, they allow some speech and not others. This argument asserts that, because it is,

base for political discourse. They must be open to all political ideas so long as its legal and United States, but it is important to point out the absurd portions of this loss it. This was an orchestrated effort. Devenant sues Twitter, Devon, Nunez is cow for defamation, there's a cow on twitter, but it isn't just anyhow. It claims to belong to rapidly Nunez of California hanging out on the dairy, and I was looking for the little treason scalpel reads: the bio of the account Devon Nunez Cow, which, as of early Tuesday, had nearly forty five thousand followers. The opinionated bovine appears to not be the biggest van of its owner. Deafens boots are full of manure at once tweeted. He is utterly worthless at its past, your time to move him to present on Monday newness that he is suing the cow account other individual users and twitter for defamation and negligence alleging that a social media platform knowingly acted as a vessel for opposition research and sensors conservative voices, the lawsuit the latest one, accusing a social media sight of anti, can

Primitive bias drew criticism Monday, as many, including legal experts, questioned its motivations and wondered if it could be a publicity stunt in the lawsuit Nunez accuse twitter of shadow banning conservatives such as himself while facility in defamation on this platform by ignoring lawful complaints about offensive. And by allowing that content to remain accessible to the public. Even if it allegedly I later the sites terms of service or rules in recent years, Otto banning, which refers to the progress of hiding an active users posts from others on a platform, has become a politically loaded catch. All four censorship, according to the posts, behold, high sir. As of right now I still receive emails from people who are being suspended for treating the phrase. Learn to code learned to code itself is not offensive in any way. In fact, Jack Dorsey said they may have been a bit too aggressive and how they were policing that particular phrase, but there are still doing it. Nothing has changed in

it's only gotten worse, this story from yesterday twitter sensors, the Federalist Cofounder over LISA, page tweet, Twitter, claimed it must Makenley, remove remove between from the Federalist cofounder Sean Davis about LISA Pages congressional testimony Monday, but denied employing shadow banning tactics against its users, Davis treated a portion of the former FBI lawyers. Testimony but soon noticed that the tweet was not appearing for other users, despite still being visible when he was logged into his own account, he treated twitter experimenting with shadow bans by deleting tweet, so others can't see them, but keeping them visible to you, while you're logged in I had to We, my original LISA page transcript wheat, because it was disappears to everyone, but me he added yesterday Twitter confirm to me the email bet it did shadow ban, one of my tweets about LISA page of congressional testimony in order to keep people safe, Twitter deliberately deleted the tweet url yet kept it visible for me when I was logged in it. So I think it was still up

As the end Twitter has faced allegations of shadow banning before most prominently, this past fall when several republican congressman's accounts were suppressed in twitter search results. Republican Florida rat met gates announced the time that it was bringing a federal election commission complaint against the company and Republican Keller when Europe definition, as was said to be exploring legal options on Monday Newness file the lawsuit seeking over too. Fifty million dollars and damages from twitter for life. ITALY, shadow banning conservatives and systematically censoring opposing viewpoints. We know twitter is biased. Do you agree with their rules or not. Conservatives don't believe in the idea that hate speech should be banned. Twitter does that's a left wing ideology, viewpoint, I dont understand us airily how you define left and right at the end of this point anymore, but from a tribal standpoint. It is typically the left arguing for banning hateful and offensive words, but, more importantly, twitters rules against Miss gendering and dead. Naming are specific to

a feminist ideology and not even to mainstream liberals. Therefore, it is a fact: twitter holds a bias in their rules. A lot of people have brought prison my way saying that I am arguing in favour of people being allowed to harass, intimidate marginalized groups. That's not the point at all. I'm just trying to highlight that Twitter actually has these rules in place that half the country doesn't agree with. In fact, in some cases the majority of the country doesnt agree with these rules, but now it's coming to law in Florida a bill was proposed I would actually stop twitter censorship. This story from tax spot Florida senator Joe Routers, proposes the stop social media censorship act. Websites could be fined for censoring hate speech, given that they both user numbers in the tens of millions. And yearly revenues. Far beyond that, it's tough to deny the influence of websites like Facebook and twitter

Many politically minded users feel this influence is being wielded unfairly. One flora senator has lost his patients with such practices and decided to take matters into his own hands. Republican Joe Routers has introduced Senate bill, seventeen twenty to which he refers to as these social media censorship. The act may enable floored US attorney general to hit social media websites with seventy five thousand dollars in fines if they sensor users for hate speech or other subjective reasons, they go to say that this punishment would only apply to social media websites, with seventy five million uses or more Bill itself is actually a bit more complicated than that and I haven't It actually is decently thought out, though, it's not perfect in the bill. They say, whereas this state has a compelling interest. Holding certain social media websites to higher standards for having substantially created a digital public square, and whereas this state has an interest in helping its citizens enjoy their free exercise of rights in certain semi public forums commonly used for really

this and political speech now, therefore- and the bill then goes on to list essentially what it would do, restricting speech for political reasons or religious reasons would not be allowed. However, they do include some exemptions. Adding this section does not apply to any of the following: a social media website that deletes or sensors a social media websites, users speech, or that uses an algorithm to disfavour or censure speech that one calls for immediate acts of violence to is obscene or pornographic nature. Three is the result of operational error. Is the result of a court order? Comes an authentic source or involves false impersonation. Enticing criminal conduct involves minors, bullying, minors, adding a social media website, user, censoring of another social media websites, user speech and six only users, war, eighteen years of age or older, have standing to seek enforcement of this act, and this is extremely complicated under section two, thirty of Italian,

occasions, decency acts. Twitter is immune there, completely immune. In fact, it was argued in court at one point that twitter could ban literally any protective class. They want under section two thirty in a story from the Washington Times in relation to the lawsuit followed by Jared Taylor, a judge seems sceptical to an argument made by Twitter and asked Twitter can discriminate on the basis of religion. Gender, sexual province or physical disability or mental disability, asked I understand your position. I am going to just respectfully disagree with it. Twitter argued a bookstore could not be required to carry books that it doesn't want to show for any reason, and one gets to ask, and they don't have to say in their contracts with the people they buy their books. From that you know, we have a right to turn away any book at all and not sell any book at all,

now my lawyer, but I do have to disagree with that argument. Twitter, as a public forum for debate, not a bookstore twitter isn't selling anything. In fact, it sounds like he's arguing. Twitter is purposefully, selecting the speech that it promotes ons platform. You also to consider that Twitter has a section called moments. This is a second that's curated and presented by. Baby liable, because that is an editorial section. The floor a bill has not yet passed as of the thirteenth. It was introduced, but it's one of the interesting to see how Twitter Facebook Youtube and other social me That's one of the interesting to see how Twitter Facebook, Youtube and other social media sites deal with this kind of legislation. It's entirely

possible. This bill make its weight of Supreme court. Now again, I'm not a lawyer, so I dont Assembly Nod works, but my understanding is that when it comes to many civil rights issues, they start at state level. The state seeks to impose some kind of restriction or right to people than when its challenged. It moves up to the courts and eventually Supreme Court makes a ruling which could affect the entire country. Again, not a lawyer now understand shore, but this house explained to me by some people who do work in law. So this could change the game in a lot of ways if twitter is forced to get rid of its hate speech, rules, you're gonna see a ton of people flood the platform, and I don't really know that's a good thing. While I do think free speech is important. The internet is very different, and I've pointed this out before twitter already kindest. Socks is a lot of great things about it, but the whole platform is just people.

Being mean to each other. I dont think Twitter is making things better by enforcing hate speech, roles and being biased, but I dont know what the platform will be like if everyone is just even meaner and more aggressive. However, ultimately, twitter is a powerful platform that does influence elections and, if that's true, then there's only one. Of action that seems to make sense, Twitter MA, respect american legal standards for discourse. We should be allowing mass Multi National billion dollar corporations with foreign investors control over our public.
