Laurence H. Tribe and Joshua A. Geltzer write Trump is doubly wrong about Twitter:
On Tuesday, President Trump claimed — on Twitter, no less — that Twitter is “stifling FREE SPEECH,” thus suggesting that Twitter is violating the First Amendment. As usual, Trump is wrong on the law, but this time he’s even more wrong than usual. There is someone violating the First Amendment on Twitter, but it’s not Twitter — it’s Trump. What’s more, his threat on Wednesday to shut down Twitter altogether would mean violating the First Amendment in new ways.
Trump is utterly mistaken in claiming that Twitter is violating the First Amendment — or even that Twitter can violate the First Amendment. Prompting Trump’s outburst was the platform’s first-ever attachment of warnings to two of Trump’s tweets encouraging users to “get the facts about mail-in ballots.” Clicking the warning leads to a news story indicating that “Trump makes unsubstantiated claim that mail-in ballots will lead to voter fraud.” Attaching these warnings, Trump claimed, was Twitter’s First Amendment sin.
But it’s no constitutional violation. To begin with, the First Amendment applies to the government — not to private actors like Twitter. So, when the company adds warnings to tweets or even — going a step further for users other than Trump — removes tweets, it can’t possibly violate the First Amendment, because it simply isn’t a governmental entity. You can love or hate how Twitter is regulating its own private platform — but you can’t call it a First Amendment violation.
Furthermore, when Twitter attaches a warning to a tweet, that constitutes speech of Twitter’s own, which is generally protected under the First Amendment from governmental censorship. Far from violating the First Amendment by speaking on top of Trump’s own speech, Twitter was exercising its First Amendment rights.
Oliver Darcy reports Trump says right-wing voices are being censored. The data say something else:
President Donald Trump has angrily complained this week about social media companies, repeatedly accusing them of censoring conservative voices and going as far as to sign an executive orderThursday seeking to limit their power.
But data from Facebook, the world’s largest social media company, pours cold water on the assertion that conservative voices are being silenced.
In fact, according to CrowdTangle, a data-analytics firm owned by Facebook, content from conservative news organizations dominates Facebook and often outperforms content from straightforward news organizations.

It was inevitable..
Trump Tweets:
“The professionally managed so-called “protesters” at the White House had little to do with the memory of George Floyd. They were just there to cause trouble. The @SecretService handled them easily. Tonight, I understand, is MAGA NIGHT AT THE WHITE HOUSE???

And so, we move on to the president issuing calls to arms for his goons to show up at the White House and giving them implicit permission to kill them some libs and blacks. Trump is inciting a riot. There is no other way to interpret this than he is martialing his private army. This will get ugly, without doubt.
My major concern has been Trump using this unrest/pandemic as a pretense to declare martial law, and use that to try to muck-up/overturn/cancel his inevitable loss in November. If nothing else, this is a transparent attempt to kick off the “Boogaloo”. Trump is not running, and has not run for some time, for president. He can’t win, and even he knows that, so the obvious plan is to incite a civil war after he loses, or better yet, blow the country up enough to let him declare himself “Leader for Life” and dispense with the trouble and bother of elections.
Tonite could be a defining time…
Yes. Trump’s looking – trying, truly – for his Reichstag fire moment.
