"Behold the dossier.
It reportedly comes from an alleged Iranian government hack of the Trump campaign, and since June, the news media has been sitting on it (and other documents), declining to publish in fear of finding itself at odds with the government’s campaign against “foreign malign influence.”
I disagree. The dossier has been offered to me and I’ve decided to publish it because it’s of keen public interest in an election season. It’s a 271-page research paper the Trump campaign prepared to vet now vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance. As far as I can tell, it hasn’t been altered, but even if it was, its contents are publicly verifiable. I’ll let it speak for itself."

Right wing speech, left-wing speech, the point is Twitter should have never started banning people just because they don’t like what they were saying. Then we wouldn’t be in a position where a billionaire gets to buy a huge website like that. When you start deciding who can speak, and who cannot speak issues arise out of that. Especially coming from website that have no problem allowing porn to be there but have a huge problem With people they don’t politically agree with. Make it make sense.
