@NewStyle303 @BadLegalTakes Sigh. This takes too long to explain, but here goes: social media companies have cited Sec 230 pre-emption as an affirmative defense when sued under state nondiscrimination statutes. That defense likely doesn’t apply to PayPal since it isn’t protected by Sec 230. Hope that helps. — PolitiTweet.org

PayPal probably isn’t protected by Section 230, so it could face legal liability in states with political nondiscrimination statutes. It’s an easier case to make than against a social media platform. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@modmothernature @elonmusk @davidmarcus @PayPal Many states have political nondiscrimination statutes, so PayPal could be sued in those states since it’s not protected by Section 230. That’s only a partial solution, but it could be an interesting one. — PolitiTweet.org

Simple rules for how to operate Twitter as a free speech platform: 1. If it’s protected by the First Amendment, it shouldn’t be censored by Twitter. 2. For users who don’t want to see certain types of speech, give them a chance to opt in to Twitter’s content moderation protocols. https://t.co/N11Tt37Uyv — PolitiTweet.org

I hear from Web3 types in Silicon Valley about how “decentralization is the solution” to ESG. But then you see something like this. It’s the worst of all worlds: centralized ideology masquerading in the guise of “decentralization.”Technology alone won’t solve a cultural problem — PolitiTweet.org

“Cancel culture,” defined: the use of force instead of free speech and open debate to settle disagreements. It preys on an epidemic of fear, and the solution will require a contagion of courage. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@EsgOrphan ESG definitions are purposefully vague for a reason: it’s the No True Scotsman fallacy in action. That’s why such “analysis” is often just a farce. — PolitiTweet.org

@FranzKoch17 @CNBC Thanks. I like having actual debate that goes beyond preaching to the choir. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

A “free speech platform” should apply the standards of the First Amendment - period. It’s true that actual incitements to violence are not protected under the First Amendment, but nothing that Trump said meets that legal standard. No serious constitutional scholar would disagree — PolitiTweet.org

Should President Trump be allowed back on Twitter if it becomes a “free speech platform”? Absolutely. We should not be a country that banishes its political minorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

If Twitter becomes a true “free speech platform,” should President Trump be allowed on the platform? It’s a cut-and-dry answer: absolutely. We shouldn’t want to be a society that silences its political minorities (or its political majorities, for that matter). — PolitiTweet.org

Free speech isn’t just a liberal arts luxury. It is a precondition for democracy. It is a precondition for the pursuit of truth itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Centralized determinations of “truth” simply don’t work. Big Tech censored critics of Covid-19 lockdowns and remote schooling policies, yet those mandates were disastrous in retrospect. We get to the right answers to through free speech and open debate, not through censorship. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s interesting how the folks who argued that “Twitter is a private company and free to censor speech on its platform” are now changing their tune just as Twitter might actually become a *private* company. https://t.co/a6YfNDjOkf — PolitiTweet.org
