On Thursday, June 17, 2021, in California Central District Court, attorney Rogan O’Handley filed a lawsuit against Twitter, California Senator Alex Padilla, Secretary of State (SoS) Shirley Weber, and others for the state’s engineering with Twitter in permanently suspending him from its platform for tweeting concerns over the 2020 election.
O’Handly was banned for life on Twitter, and claims it was at the request of Senator Alex Padilla.
A Freedom of Information Request recently uncovered a cache of emails revealing Alex Padilla, who was California Secretary of State at the time, directly coordinated with Democratic political consulting firm SKDK and Twitter to permanently suspend users who were critical of Padilla’s job in conducting elections. One such user was Rogan O’Handley, who Twitter permanently suspended in Feb. 2021 for “violating rules about election integrity” for tweeting “Most votes in American History.”

Freedom of Speech is only for those with political power. This is not new. In the 49s and fiftys the L.A. Times was very selective in it’s reporting on political candidates if they were not to the left. Some didn’t exist in spite of the large gatherings to hear them speak. Not much has changed since the digital age bloomed.
That was supposed to be 1940s and 1950s.
