- bediger4000 4y agoNow the WSJ wants the Whitehouse to act right. After the latitude the media allowed Trump I'm really cynical about media crying wolf.
- xqcgrek2 4y agoThe WSJ is asking courts to act, not the WH: >Twitter is a private company. But evidence of a direct connection between White House pressure and Twitter censorship bolsters the argument that social-media platforms can be sued as “state actors” for restricting speech in violation of the First Amendment. Courts have been reluctant, and properly so, to allow such lawsuits to proceed without evidence linking specific demands from government officials to censorship.
