Tomorrow a hearing is taking place in the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit N.D. of California. The hearing at hand is Donald Trump vs Twitter, Inc.
This lawsuit was originally filed Oct 28th 2021. It was dismissed in May of 2022 due to there being 'no evidence Twitter was acting on behalf of the federal government'....
Around the same time the plaintiffs filed for appeal - a man named Elon Musk stepped on the scene to acquire Twitter, gut their entire BOD, fire 70% of the staff, open source the algorithm, and proceeded to air out the Twitter Files. The Twitter Files became a central piece of evidence in this case. Undeniable proof of direct government intervention.
Apart from an apology statement from Dorsey over the summer there is seemingly zero news coverage of this case.
What do you think a fair settlement would be?

That all sounds wonderful. Who is giving these orders? If it survives in the end, how much censorship is ok?
I understand where you are coming from but in my opinion, Twatter was never the ' town square. We will survive without it.
The judge in the lawsuit this post is actually about? Instead of some monetary settlement force the info out. I don't like or use Twitter but I'm certain the data holds all kinds of information about criminal actions by the government. People thought DMs would stay private. Twitter thought their files were safe. Oops...
I'd like to see it survive with zero censorship. It is likely impossible since we've seen even SMS texts are censored, but it can serve a purpose going forward. I mean we use it on here as well, right? Posters cite tweets every day.
