If this isn't a first amendment, slam dunk, laughed out of the court room loss for Trump's FTC, we're in deeper shit than I thought, and I think we're drowning in it over our heads.

So... money is speech (see Citizens United decision), but withholding money is not?
in reply to Ars Technica

This seems like a very clear violation of the 1st Amendment, compelled speech.

Journalists should be calling this what it is: corruption. Doing special favors for your biggest donors is the definition of corruption.

Once again our press lets us down.

in reply to Ars Technica

It is pure nonsense.

One can boycott due to lack of money.

This is just a cover for legal extortion.

Ask Elmo.

Define political?
Is racist hate speech political?
Because after 1 year of Musk, trying to uncover evidence of old Twitter censoring "conservatives," he found nothing.
