A conservative influencer filed a lawsuit against Twitter, a former California secretary of state, and others on June 17, alleging that they colluded to censor election-related content, violating the plaintiff’s rights to free speech, equal protection, and due process.
The lawsuit (pdf) cites emails and documents from California’s Office of Elections Cybersecurity, which show that state employees flagged Twitter posts because they purportedly contained misinformation. Twitter subsequently removed many of the flagged posts, including those written by attorney Rogan O’Handley, the plaintiff.
