Shiva Ayyadurai Lawsuit Against Massachusetts Officials Dropped

|

Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai was suing Massachusetts officials who he alleged were responsible for his deplatforming by Twitter. Yesterday, he filed an amended Complaint, reaffirming the one claim that survived a motion to dismiss, which related to the claim that Twitter was a state actor because of its supposedly close interaction with the government.

But today, I see that he seems to have dismissed all his claims. Perhaps there's more going on here, that's how things seem to me.
