I'm willing to agree that Twitter is an utterly dishonest company with a clownish Orwellian Truth Ministry that censors information in an obvious attempt to sway the election, if you will agree this is 100% perfectly legal.
I'd have a shit-ton more respect for Jack Dorsey if he just said, yes, Twitter is completely biased against Trump, and will continue to block information, true or not, that would help re-elect him, and the First Amendment means there's not a fucking thing you can do about it
These "but Section 230" replies are something else.

Yes, go ahead and repeal 230, this will totally make it illegal for Twitter to censor your Hunter Biden memes.
After that, you can go to the comments section at MegaMAGAPatriot dot com and post some anti-Trump links, and then sue them after they kick you out
Back when I had a blog I solved this conundrum by never having a comments section in the first place
Here's a social media regulation I could live with: an anti-trust rule that limits any single social media property to no more than 1 million accounts. Otherwise they are free to ban/block any information, or people, they wish.
I recommend switching to decaf, Cliff

After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.

I told Twitter Support I had some of their secret Zoom meeting recordings
Contrary to too many conjectures, I was not suspended, nor have I ever been suspended by Twitter for any reason. Some asshole hacked my account, and got it back probably because a few notable people intervened on my behalf.
if you're looking for a culprit in the great Iowahawk hacking caper, look no further than this sack of shit. This account was magically created immediately after mine was hacked, renamed & deleted. Now serving all your natural health and Somali telecommunication needs

Van Halen played Hilton Coliseum at ISU the night before, then Diamond Dave led the Hawkeye marching band at halftime during the Iowa-ISU game at Iowa's Kinnick Stadium. VH played Cedar Rapids that night. /1
This still pisses me off because it reminds me how Iowa State (the supposed cow college) actually got good campus concerts, the latest MTV hair metal bands and New Wave groups, while Iowa (the supposed bohemian party school) didn't. /2

Rejoice Zoom wankers, #MeToobin movement has arrived
"how would you want to be treated if you accidentally got caught pleasuring yourself during a work Zoom meeting?"

I think I'd be pleasantly amazed if I was able to escape with a suspension and some punitive mockery
No, there is absolutely nothing mockworthy about the New Yorker magazine assembling its intellectual A Team for a Zoom election simulation, and then the guy assigned to play the Supreme Court starts choking his chicken because he thinks the mute button turns of the camera
