The most interesting bit to me:

> He also observed that Texas, where he lives, has a law on the books that prohibits social media companies from banning users based on their political viewpoints.

> "I would certainly be interested in hearing from people who are First Amendment lawyers about how that might apply in a situation if they don't provide some legitimate and well documented reason for my suspension," he said.

I doubt this goes anywhere but it would be an interesting test of this law.
