   @pluralistic This chap developed CEO trading cards and immediately had his social accounts shut down overnight.

   "The master's tools" etc etc

   The revolution will not be Instagrammed, Shopified

     @karmaburrito @pluralistic 😩 With the exception of the NYPD mischaracterizing his comments/motives, this is most assuredly not a 1A issue. The government is not telling him he may not make this speech. Private entities are deplatforming him, which is entirely in their right.

     @DFWInfoStudent @karmaburrito @pluralistic You think that the police telling someone to deplatform someone *isn't* a 1st Amendment violation?? Then what is?

     @Dss @karmaburrito @pluralistic Was a law passed? Did the NYPD tell these companies to shut down the accounts? I see nothing about either of those scenarios having played out, so no, it's not 1A from what I can see.

     I interned at Eclipse for a summer in 1991. Also notable from them were the 'Savings and Loan Scandal' trading cards.

     Wall Street denizens ordered plenty of copies of these, thought it was amusing to see their pals on the cards.

     @karmaburrito @pluralistic Reminds me of these cards from 1989 which detail the role Bush and his people lying to Congress, overthrowing governments and doing war crimes.

     Cory Doctorow repeated this.
