'Ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon says he is quitting X over new terms of service
[NY Post] Flounces! Hissy fit! Oh what will we do without ol what's his name?
Left-leaning former CNN anchor Don Lemon said Wednesday he is quitting Elon Musk’s social media platform X — blaming the site’s new policy for all legal disputes to be heard in Texas.

Lemon — who is currently suing Musk in California after having his show on X canceled by the mogul — claimed the upcoming switch in the terms of service would hamper free speech.

“I once believed that it [X] was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency and free speech, but I now feel it does not serve that purpose,” Lemon told his 1.5 million followers on X in a video.

X’s new terms of service, which take effect Friday, mandate that all lawsuits be filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas – not the Western District of Texas, where the company is headquartered.

Ten of the 11 active judges in the Northern District were appointed by a Republican president, compared to six of the 11 judges in the Western District, according to Georgetown University law professor Steve Vladeck.

Lemon quoted a report in The Washington Post, which said X’s new policy “ensures that such lawsuits will be heard in courthouses that are a hub for conservatives, which experts say could make it easier for X to shield itself from litigation and punish critics.”

“I think that speaks for itself,” Lemon said, before plugging his YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and Bluesky accounts.

#1 
After having read of several Big Name Uber Liberals personalities canceling "X" over the new user policy. The 1st thing that came to mind was ....

"X" must now have a TRUTH, HONESTY and NO CALL's TO VIOLENCE clause. Thus leaving these lying, violence inciting Liberals speechless.

#3 “I once believed that it [X] was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency and free speech, but I now feel it does not serve that purpose,” Lemon told his 1.5 million followers on X in a video. Bullshit. In an interview with Musk he outright asked Musk why he did't "moderate" X. Musk said because he doesn't censor anyone whereby Lemon said, "that isn't censorship". Wotta turd.
