'Ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon says he is quitting X over new terms of service

2024-11-14

[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.

#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.

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.
