Here is the money quote from the idiot judge: "Balancing the exchange of ideas among private speakers is not a legitimate governmental interest.

The idiot leaves out (1) Big Tech became Big Tech when it was granted by special legislation of 230 protections so that 1st Amendment rights could be exercised without fear of liability, and (2) there is no exchange of ideas if you deplatform those that are in opposition to yours. This is an easy win and Justice Thomas is already leaning that way.

“Justice Thomas is already leaning that way.”

Justice Thomas invited a case that would allow the question to be addressed, and laid out the relevant precedents; it’s a leap to predicting how he’d rule
