That was based on what he said was Twitter's alleged suspension of an account connected to pro-life film, Unplanned, on the week it was opening in theaters.
Hawley has called for ending edge providers' exemption (in Sec. 230 of the Communications Decency Act, from liability for third-party content posted on their sites, which he brands a sweetheart deal. He echoed that in questioning whether Twitter deserved such immunity.
