@mentions@EFF @mediacoalition @ncacensorship @PENamerica @RSI This lawsuit isn’t just about Twitter’s #FirstAmendment right to moderate content. Government coercion of social media companies is on the rise, in the U.S. & around the world, and the Court’s decision will affect users worldwide.
@mentions@EFF @mediacoalition @ncacensorship @PENamerica @RSI Paxton’s retaliatory investigation of Twitter discourages it from moderating content, which is bad for users & public. We need companies to do more to address #disinformation, #hatespeech, & harassment in a way that respects human rights w/o being chilled by gov't interference.

🚨 BREAKING: Today, we've taken a critical & necessary stand for the First Amendment. @CenDemTech filed a lawsuit against @POTUS' “Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship,” which violates 1A by chilling constitutionally protected speech of online platforms & individuals.
@POTUS .@AlexReeveGivens: “@POTUS’ Order is designed to deter social media services from fighting #misinformation, voter suppression & stoking of violence on their platforms. Access to accurate info about the voting process & security of our elections is the lifeblood of our democracy."
@POTUS @AlexReeveGivens .@AlexReeveGivens: "@POTUS has made clear his goal is to use threats of retaliation & future regulation to intimidate intermediaries into changing how they moderate content, essentially ensuring dangers of voter suppression & #disinformation grow unchecked in an election year.”
