The computer repairman famous for fixing Hunter Biden's laptop lost his lawsuit against Twitter on Monday.
District Judge Beth Bloom dismissed the case against the social media company with prejudice, meaning the case cannot be brought to court again. Bloom also ordered the plaintiff, John Paul Mac Isaac, to pay Twitter's attorney fees via Florida's anti-SLAPP statute.
Mac Isaac owned The Mac Shop in Delaware. Biden traveled to the store in 2019 and asked him to recover data from his damaged computers, but never returned to collect the information or pay his invoice.
Mac Isaac ultimately turned over the data to the FBI and then-President Donald Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, after Biden didn't pick up the hard drive of recovered information. Giuliani sent the information to the New York Post, which ran a story using the data while inadvertently including the name of Mac Isaac's business in a photo.
Twitter ultimately locked the company's account for sharing the article, noting that the NY Post distributed "content obtained through hacking that contains private information."
Mac Isaac alleged that he was threatened after his business was identified from the story, ultimately forcing him to close his shop and sue Twitter for damages. He said Twitter spread "the false belief that Plaintiff is a hacker" because the company warned about its hacked materials policy when referring to the NY Post article.
But the judge specifically noted that the platform itself never mentioned Mac Isaac or the name of his business in its several posts on the matter. The judge specifically said that news sites reported the business owner's name, never Twitter itself.

If you cause trouble for the Bidens, there will be ... trouble.

Twitter ultimately locked the company’s account for sharing the article, noting that the NY Post distributed “content obtained through hacking that contains private information.”
But these laws wouldn’t apply to the Trump family right judge? We know your dirty game.
It will be shut down once “they” find it.
Nice house.
The legal system in this country is just a weapon of war used to protect the democrat taliban party and its armies, and to hurt its enemies. This is called lawfare and is a favorite weapon in CWII by the democrat taliban party.
How many conservatives are still pouring money into Twitter’s coffers with their use of its services?

Bingo!
Judge Beth Bloom.......hmmmm....another LEFTY JEWESS, I suppose.
A two tiered application of LAW. The Statue of Liberty is crying.

But Twitter should of censored itself in this matter since it allowed false information to be posted and did nothing.
The judge wrote: ‘...that Twitter has a First Amendment right to “decide what to publish and what not to publish on its platform.”’
On the other hand: “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider” (47 U.S.C. § 230).
Yes but Twitter is referring to the content on the laptop as “hacked material” which it wasn’t. It was authorized by the user, Hunter Biden, when he signed for the work to be done. Most likely this Judge is on Twitter’s payroll.
No good deed goes unpunished (especially in Wokeland).
No. The problem is that his lawyer did not examine properly the merits of the case.
A good lawyer would should have found that the party being sued was not in fact culpable and would have so advised him.
