I don't believe so. Whatever connection that is revealed between government actors and Big Tech there will always be just enough plausible deniability to let the First Amendment criminals off totally or very easily.

The prosecutorial environment is totally set up in their favor. The prosecutors that would be in charge of prosecuting these First Amendment crimes agree with the criminals actions. And this does not matter if a Republican or Democrat sits in the White House. The president is pretty much helpless in this situation.

So in terms of holding government actors accountable for First Amendment crimes, expect blue balls.

Ha. No.

It takes someone to do something about it.

Unfortunately, these people are at the highest level of our government and they’re all on another level and the same team.

Laws are only for the peasants or maybe a political enemy.

I think more ppl are upset over this grinner deal. Grinner is very unpopular and even more so now that they released a gun runner for her.

Our veterans and Armed Forces personnel should be furious over this deal.

Doubtful. If someone lost a close election and it was found that their opponent and/or opponent's party were able to get their account and tweets shadow-banned just by contacting Twitter, then maybe some slap on the wrist happens for some low-level scapegoat.

Other than that? No. The government will push the courts to allow them to hide behind the old "lack of standing" bullshite.

I didn’t read every email, but are there names of government officials who were requesting specific things be removed?

I expect nothing from the Federal government or the national GOP but they could surprise me. I hope for some real action from state attorney generals.
