In reply to the discussion: Texas Attorney General Demands Big Tech Explain Shunning of Parler [View all]DallasNE
(7,402 posts)44. First Of All, This AG Doesn't Appear To Know What Free Speech Means
He needs to research the Supreme Court cases on speech that is not covered by the 1st Amendment. Then he needs to read what the companies have already said on the subject. That would answer most of his questions. But that is not the purpose of his request and everybody know that. The companies should just reissue their earlier statements. Parlor, after all, was used to plot the deadly attack on the Capitol building. Apparently the Texas AG wants another deadly attack plotted on Parlor.
But then this is the same half-wit that asked the Supreme Court to overturn the election results in 6 battleground states.
