Utterly ridiculous. Absolutely awful ruling.
What they are saying is that the federal government can lean on media companies to censor and ban their political opponents and nobody can do anything about it.
I don’t think that the Defendents showed harm.
This is good for Truth Social who has promised not to censor any voice, left or right, and they can’t be shut off by Amazon as they are on rumble’s system
Wow, I disagree with the substance of the decision, it does give our side another bite at the apple. What they are saying is that our side needs to present a better case. Part of the problem is that our side argued that everything the social media companies did with regard to censorship was because of the government, when any idiot could’ve told you that a bunch of left-leaning tech companies (including One, Facebook, whose principal owner spent some $400 million on vote harvesting for the Democrat Party) would do some on their own without specific direction. This needs to be refined to more closely reflect reality. Again, we have another bite at the apple somewhere down the line. We also now know that states aren’t the proper plaintiffs. Maybe what our side needs to do is find a bunch of people who have had their posts censored, including political candidates and independent journalists trying to report dirt on Leftist candidates, office holders and NGOs.
