Attorney Jed Rubenfeld shares how social media users can sue federal agencies who pushed Twitter to censor constitutionally protected speech on ‘Kennedy.’
Twitter CEO Elon Musk said that he met with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in an effort to ensure that the social media platform is “fair” to both sides.
“Just met with @SpeakerMcCarthy & @RepJeffries to discuss ensuring that this platform is fair to both parties,” Musk tweeted on Thursday.
Musk’s call for fairness on the platform between political parties comes after the Twitter Files showed that the FBI routinely contacted the social media platform to notify them of accounts that “may” constitute violations of the company’s terms of service.
“Hello Twitter contacts, FBI San Francisco is notifying you of the below accounts which may potentially constitute violations of Twitter’s Terms of Service for any action or inaction deemed appropriate within Twitter policy,” an FBI employee wrote in an email on Nov. 10, 2022.
