California Governor Gavin Newsom’s official press account has just been suspended, sending shockwaves across social media. The move comes immediately after what many are calling his most “unhinged” post yet.
While the details of the violation remain unclear, speculation is spreading fast. Some argue it was a clear breach of platform rules on “misinformation” or “targeted attacks,” while others believe it’s another case of political censorship.
Regardless, this unprecedented suspension raises major questions: If a sitting governor’s official press outlet can be silenced, what does that mean for free speech in America?
We’ll continue monitoring updates as the story develops. 👀
What rule do you think Newsom broke — and was this justified or political? Drop your thoughts below!
Gavin Newsom has been tweeting like Donald Trump for the past few days.
From his use of CAPS LOCK and multiple exclamation points…
… to his “THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.”
He really nailed it.
Oh, and he also mocked Trump’s whole king schtick.
On Thursday, Newsom announced the “Election Rigging Response Act.”
The maps haven’t been released yet, but it appears the bill will be up for a public vote on November 4.
