Probably not tampering, but it might be campaign finance fraud given the double standard with this means the companies are actively assisting the Biden campaign.

Censoring ones Campiagn is tampering I would think. Though that works too

Twitter's actions remind me of Beria's threats to the other members of the Politburo at the end of the Death of Stalin. It officially makes them too dangerous to leave alive.

Methinks Twitter and Facebook poked the bear. (Say goodbye to that Section 230 protection.)

Removing Section 230 protections will also make this place liable for us. And basically force any social media to close or become 4chan, which would pretty much be the death knell for them in America. As no one wants to advertise on 4chan.

If they don't want to be truly neutral then they shouldn't get any special protection.
