@elonmusk I don't do "gotcha" questions. This is a sincere effort to help the public understand how Twitter might respond to a similar situation if the transaction is completed. There is a clear public interest in this question being answered. — PolitiTweet.org

Does @elonmusk consider the Buffalo video that circulated on social media to be "wrong and bad" or "destructive to the world"? — PolitiTweet.org

It’s almost too awful to imagine what platforms would look like if they were legally required to host the Buffalo video, or praise for it, or posts amplifying it. But we must. Because that’s a possible scenario in our current timeline. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: The groups challenging Texas’s social media law have filed for an emergency stay at SCOTUS, saying they hope Justice Alito (assigned to hear such requests from 5th Circuit) or the full Court will swiftly reverse the ruling that let HB 20 take effect. https://t.co/ZECpYSZK8v — PolitiTweet.org

After the leaked opinion on Roe, we know this Court is absolutely willing to overturn decades-old precedents. It is not hard to imagine it revisiting some of its most basic convictions on speech. https://t.co/xmCnURUlar — PolitiTweet.org

3. If this goes to SCOTUS, decades of First Amendment precedent may be on the line—affects not just tech, but all Americans’ 1A rights on compelled speech and more. And possibly also result in big chunks of the internet opened to common carrier regulation. https://t.co/xmCnURUlar — PolitiTweet.org

2. Lots of uncertainty on how social media is allowed to work in Texas going forward. Companies need to figure out how to comply. Do they stop all moderation? Shut down and pull out? Do they need to engineer Texas-specific systems? What’s the impact to UX? https://t.co/xmCnURUlar — PolitiTweet.org

This week’s decision letting Texans sue social media companies is hugely significant. Three reasons why. 1. The law is in effect—right now. A wave of suits may be being prepared as we speak. Plaintiffs have never had a law like HB 20 to help them before. https://t.co/xmCnURUlar — PolitiTweet.org
