My god, I wonder if people understand how truly horrific this ruling is.
This ruling directly says that lies are, as they call it, “protected free speech” and specifically prohibits the government from being able to do anything meaningful to combat it. So the next time some dumbass group says that vaccines are made of radioactive waste and will turn you into one of the aliens from District 9, the government won’t be able to do anything to stop them.
But a children’s book that discusses little Suzy and her two mommies is too much for society to handle and is therefore not also protected speech. Because reasons. Or something.
So I dont live in the U.S.A. but I'm wondering what happens if the governement does anyway? Like after this, if someone says something not true and the governement still uses the same measures to clarify it isn't true, then what? Does that governement get in trouble?
The stupid “Twitter files” showed that the government did nothing more than make requests. And Twitter was under no obligation to honor them. They often didn’t. So this judge is saying the government can’t make requests? What?
