Facebook and Twitter are PRIVATE companies. This site used to stand up for capitalism and companies rights, and now that you don't like the direction they are taking, you change your minds. Remember the whole "gay cake" thing?
Sorry, but private companies can do as they wish.
If you don't like it, start your own Facebook or twitter to spread your lies. Seems they don't like doing it anymore.
And Dems have been wanting to make Facebook and Twitter "utilities" for years, so that they CAN be regulated. Is that where you want to go? I'm fine with that.

I'm talking about a statute relative to the conversation, these are discrimination lawsuits based on protected classes, your political view is not a protected class.

Freedom of Speech and Expression is Protected - just not as a class of People. But singling out a certain group and denying them those Freedoms then would be a group of People discriminated against.
I think the 1st link I posted falls under that category. As I said, I don't know if it has the statue you're looking for.
I think you might have to do your own research on that. Cornell seems to have a lot of Law online.
