N2 - With Twitter making headlines daily, Allard Law Professor Joel Bakan, along with co-counsel Sujit Choudhry, is taking Twitter to court over their refusal to run paid promotions for his award-winning 2020 documentary, The New Corporation. The documentary, which exposes the corrosive impact on democracy of large corporations’ unbridled power, was deemed to violate Twitter’s Political Content policy. Professor Bakan alleges that Twitter is stifling free speech, using a novel legal approach to make his case. Should he win this precedent setting case, the impact on the North American social media landscape would be groundbreaking.
