>it is illegal for the government to "outsource censorship" to private parties in order to silence speech protected by 1A. A relative of DNC's Podesta or an FBI lawyer working for Twitter add to the impression more than the legal argument I guess.

This is the entire story, but lede buried by MuskHate.

Does no one out here realize this is the same hate-everything-acknowledge-nothing behavior regarding Trump?

That you must hate the person and nothing else matters... "always shoot the messenger"... It seems clear as day to me, but I guess I'm the crazy one.

EDIT: It's called cathartic scapegoating. And if you point it out, it must mean you're a Trump loving far-right loonie toon. Look at the extent that people will go to prove they aren't just shooting the messenger right here, it's just evidence it is happening.

It’s funny you mention that because a lot of the alt-right’s success the past few years has been fueled by a pure, unadulterated hatred of anything deemed liberal or progressive.

You seem to both be mad about government interference in 2020 and mad about people criticizing the Trump Administration. But the government in 2020 was the Trump Administration, so it seems like only one or the other can be a valid complaint.

The disclosures actually showed that the Trump government and Biden campaign both requested removals. But only one of those two is a government entity and (oddly) evidence of that government entity's request was left out of the disclosures. Talk about burying the lede.

You’ve bought into right wing propaganda, so of course it’s clear as day that it’s a government conspiracy and a first amendment violation to you.

To normals, “DNC Podesta FBI” are keywords signifying far-right conspiracy talk.

Wasn't the government at the time still the Trump government?
