Trump is leading a class action suit by 'conservatives' to enjoin Facebook, Twitter and YouTube from censoring them for political purposes and at the behest of Democrats. Can he win? The strongest argument is that Congress cannot instruct a private organization to do, on the behalf of Congress, things that itself is constrained from doing. That is not a weak argument in that SCOTUS has decided that in the past.
However, there is going to be a war over discovery with the tech giants arguing very limited discovery and the plaintive arguing that they cannot know where evidence of illegal behavior will be located until they find it. In the end, tortious behavior need not be proven for Trump, et alia to win. Any number of things could be found in discovery that could establish other illegal activities, other tortious acts, politically damaging information or, in the end, evidence that would effectively enjoin the tech giants to continue to censor with impunity. This, absolutely, is not as frivolous a suit as the news outlets are attempting to portray. This is, in fact, very, very clever on the part of the attorneys for the plaintiffs.
P.S. DO share
Hi all, I live in Canada. And the article " The Inappropriately Excluded " is really something that deeply resonates with me, and has helped make sense of my life. That I've been going back to it for years as a reference. But today found out there is this meetup group. Excellent stuff!
So I'm wondering what are people's interests here?
I like transition planning, and how we'll get through the end of oil,
archival of important documents, talking to international advisors and politicians about it. Also run several businesses. And do a lot of religious stuff,
cause that's best way of connecting with the uh IQ challenged majority in terms they can understand. So for that I run anabaptist.ca and got like outreach for all sorts of faiths, like humanism, islam, communists, chinese, hindus, christians etc: https://anabaptist.ca/dyet/
Hi! Just joined. I discovered this group through the Inappropriatelt Excluded article and it hit home. Looks very interesting :)
After Dobbs v Jackson, people are saying they want to move to Canada? Why? There is no part of Canada that allows abortion after 23 weeks. And, of course, nowhere in Europe are abortions legal after 24 weeks. So, if one really feels that access abortion is so important, the best thing to do is move to California. It has the most Progressive abortion laws pretty much anywhere, save China, North Korea, and Vietnam. Honestly, if this is your thing, then you should move to California. Whatever state you are in, they will celebrate your departure.
