It is not a question of what California wants. California is attempting to coerce. X is arguing that CA's coercion violates both the 1st amendment and Section 230. Glad to engage further if you or others want to address the merits of those arguments. No need to impugn intent onto specific individuals.

All laws are coercive. That's how laws work. So I don't even know what your first statement is trying to get at.

$15k/day -- 5M/year -- on companies over $100M in gross revenue (much less the several billion generated by Twitter) is not more coercive than many other laws. The penalties for some laws go up to and including death... so this is definitely within the typical range of penalties.

The law requires disclosing your policy and how you applied it. Musk is out on a limb if he's claiming that giving stats on what actions were taken is the same as the action itself.
