I’m shocked.
ok, but what consequences will he actually face ; nothing.
It’s probably not illegal, just hypocritical
Could be argued to be unreported campaign contributions.
X has “reportedly worked with Donald Trump’s campaign to censor material that could be harmful to the former president’s White House chances as part of a pattern of election interference that is unprecedented in U.S. history,” according to The Daily Beast.
Gee willikers, that sure sounds like it would be illegal. I mean if I were to do this sort of thing, I’m imagining I would be in jail, awaiting trial.

as far as I can tell, none of those laws apply to censorship on what is ultimately a private company’s platform.
Like twitter isn’t a government agency. they’re allowed to be partisan and delete content however they see fit. This would be similar to, say, a newspaper electing to not cover trump’s awkward moments while covering Harris’ awkward moments; or a bakery offering pro-harris cake or cookies but not pro-trump stuff.
the constitution only bars government or public agents from infringing on free speech- it does not bar you from kicking your asshat trumper out of thanksgiving dinner.
so far, the only thing I can see that Musk has done that is against election law is to solicit donors with the $47 he promised to recruiters, so to speak… and that’s… well… I’m not sure that’s going to be an easy case to win.
Toss him and ask the idiot blue checks in jail.

Trumptards took over Clubhouse without the backing from the CEO. It’s a collective strategy, and not one man’s bigotry
That’s pretty crazy. Do you have examples of Reddit admins directly working with Democrat campaigns or politicians to remove content? I don’t think Hunter Biden’s dick pics count, as revenge porn is already illegal.
Edit: For anyone confused as to how my reply relates to the above post, the above used to be a claim that Reddit worked with democrats to remove content, but is now edited to say something completely different.
Purging The_Donald and incels communities
I’m confused, what Democrat politicians or campaign staff coordinated removing those communities from Reddit? And why would Democrats even need to? Those communities broke sitewide rules egregiously and frequently. Considering how long they were allowed to keep going, it seems more likely (though I’m sure not the actual case) that Donald Trump’s campaign coordinated with Reddit admins to keep The_Donald open.
The difference is that a community of people is downvoting and upvoting content. It’s not one person controlling what you see.
Too much nuance for a ‘both sides’ person
But also one man’s bigotry letting the place become a massive cesspool beyond the cesspool it already was.
