There is no radical left-wing organization exception to me. I protect your right to report that Twitter showed you ads next to hateful content.

X filed this in federal court in Texas to avoid application of an anti-SLAPP statute. In the Fifth Circuit — including Texas — anti-SLAPP statutes do not apply in federal court even to state claims. The Ninth Circuit — where X has its principal place of business - applies anti-SLAPP statutes.

After years of presenting shams about government censorship, this is an actual government censorship and chilling of speech through intimidation and lawfare on behalf of the richest man in America.

The press release candidly concedes that the goal is to target what it calls "radical left-wing organizations," so I guess it's undisputed that this case involves targeting people at least in part because of their perceived political associations???

I protect your right to burn the American flag in protest. Jailing people for doing it would violate me.

I protect your right to call someone an “insurrectionist” for their activities on January 6.

He was jailed for criticizing police. A federal court wasn't having it. The decision supports the notion that victims should be entitled to recourse when the state retaliates against people for their words. But that recourse is still not guaranteed.
