This is the first lawsuit to expose how the government censors U.S. citizens’ speech on Twitter. For years we were told Twitter acts on its own as a private company and you cannot question their decisions. Following the deplatforming of Dr.SHIVA, testimony and hearings in Federal court elicited how the government and Twitter have created an infrastructure for government to launder censorship of speech through Twitter. This website provides all documents as they emerge in this historic lawsuit. The presiding Federal Judge declared this case is one of the substantial constitutional consequences and a lawsuit that will likely become “a law school exam in Constitutional Law.”
Dr.SHIVA is representing himself against BIG LAW and BIG TECH. It’s truly a David and Goliath story. We the people versus the elite who never liked the First Amendment.
UPDATE
Six out of seven claims in our lawsuit were dismissed. Given our lawsuit was about preserving and protecting the First Amendment, we chose not to pursue this one remaining claim that would, at best, put us back on Twitter, which was never our end goal.
