Meta, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok should hang onto content and metadata that may prove Russia committed war crimes in Ukraine, according to letters sent today by leading members of the House Oversight and Foreign Affairs Committees. https://t.co/2ksXkM9fyc https://t.co/w1mA6MQ9JC — PolitiTweet.org

Legal Twitter, help me out. What are the biggest First Amendment precedents implicated if SCOTUS eventually winds up ruling for Texas HB 20? I have some idea already but looking for additional guidance. — PolitiTweet.org

Meta won't go into the nature of the request, so it's not clear what exactly it sought guidance on. In response, the OB says the decision doesn't "diminish Meta's responsibility to carefully consider the ongoing content moderation issues which have arisen from this war." — PolitiTweet.org

The year is 2024. Elon Musk is up at 4 a.m., personally reviewing thousands of tweets. He hasn't slept in months and now runs on solar batteries. "This is OK" *swipes right* "This is wrong, but not bad" *swipes right* "This is wrong AND bad!" *swipes left* "...help" — PolitiTweet.org

My earlier tweet was incomplete. Musk's test for enforcement is in fact more nuanced. It's actually: – Is the speech illegal? If not, then – Is the speech either "destructive to the world" or "wrong and bad"? https://t.co/8XNju3aQwB — PolitiTweet.org

So is Musk's "wrong and bad" test a two-pronged test? Must a tweet be both Wrong and Bad to invite enforcement? Or is it that enforcement will be applied to tweets that are Wrong and also tweets that are Bad? — PolitiTweet.org

So to recap, Musk's test for enforcement will be: – Is the speech illegal? If not, then – Is the speech "destructive to the world"? Who gets to decide what that means, and which consequences will apply and when, will be the next big battle. — PolitiTweet.org

And: "If they say something that is illegal or otherwise just destructive to the world ... perhaps a timeout, a temporary suspension, or that particular tweet should be made invisible or have very limited traction. But I think perma-bans just fundamentally undermine trust." — PolitiTweet.org
