Elon’s astonishing posting of details behind Twitter’s suppression of Hunter’s laptop scandal continues – Twitter executive: ‘The First Amendment is not ABSOLUTE! »
Published on 3.12.2022
Musk’s exposure of what happened during Twitter’s rush to hide information about Hunter Biden’s laptop story has brought some shocking details to light. Twitter’s chief legal, policy and trust attorney, Vijaya Gadde, exchanged messages regarding mobile censorship with California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna. Khanna was concerned about censorship and the lame reason Twitter gave at the time was that some of the information may have been “hacked”. Khanna wrote that “if there is a hack of classified information or other information that could expose a serious war crime and the NYT should release it, I think the NYT should have this writing. A journalist should not be held responsible for the illegal actions of their source, unless they actively contributed to the hack. »
As a reminder :
Khanna specifically pointed out that the censorship of the article appeared to be a violation of the First Amendment. He also mentioned that it would trigger efforts to restrict Section 230. And he added that “in the heat of a presidential campaign, restricting the circulation of newspaper articles (even if the NY Post is far right) seems to elicit more negative than positive reactions. He asked that the communication be kept private. Yet Twitter has not backtracked on censoring conservative voices. Carl Szabo of research firm NetChoice began warning the company that its decision would cause a “bloodbath” on the Hill, referring to frustration among Democrats and Republicans. However, Szabo also noted that some Democratic lawmakers have pushed for even greater censorship. When asked how censorship would work with the First Amendment, their response was to denigrate the Bill of Rights, saying, “The First Amendment is not absolute. »
36.Twitter files continue: “THE FIRST AMENDMENT IS NOT ABSOLUTE” Szabo’s letter contains chilling passages reflecting the attitude of Democratic lawmakers. They want ‘more’ moderation, and as for the Bill of Rights, it’s ‘not absolute’
E. Musk has promised that there will be more revelations to come. “Vijaya Gadde tried desperately to stop Elon Musk from buying Twitter. She failed. Now he’s exposing EVERYTHING she wanted to hide.”
