Preposterously, Tangerine seeks an injunction under Florida law, against Twitter -- the object of which would be to force Twitter to reinstate his account privileges. That word -- "privileges" -- is all one needs to know about why this case is a dead-bang loser.
Whatever else may be said about Twitter -- for good or ill -- it offers an entirely free. . . privilege, of participating. Not a "right" -- of any sort. It is, in sum, akin to a private club. [Maybe even a little better than a private club, because Tangerine may read the goings on -- without a handle, whereas no one not a member can watch the private dinners and weddings at Mar-A-Lago.]
If anyone were to tell Tangerine that he must admit to membership in his Bedminster or Mar-A-Lago golf clubs, one AOC (in the ball gown at right, to boot!). . . he would lose his tiny mind. And the law would not favor AOC (absent a showing that the decision was made on race, ethnicity, LGBTQ+ status or gender). Viewpoint (to frame it most charitably to Baby-T) is not. . . a protected class or status, no matter what Tangerine says.
And Twitter offers a revokable series of day passes to its system (as the FB outage yesterday made very clear). A moron who lies and offends the guests that Twitter wants to sell ads to. . . is quite properly subject to seeing his privileges revoked. The end.
