Absurd, Arbitrary, Ambiguous, and Abusive Twitter Suspensions

 When actions screening and blocking material are not taken in

 good faith under 47 U.S. Code § 230 an interactive computer

 service becomes a publisher and speaker of any content

 provided by a participating content provider. When such a

 service deems material obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy,

 excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable

 from one content provider is allowable, then it cannot claim

 it is not the same content from another content provider

 is not objectionable by another provider. 


The converse is also true. If a computer service provider

 deems material NOT objectionable, it cannot in good faith

 claim that same material from another content provider

 obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent,

 harassing, or otherwise objectionable. 

Therefore, it becomes civilly and criminally liable as a

 publisher and speaker of that content.
