This has interesting higher-order effects on free speech. Let's apply the same ruling to vaccine misinformation, or the ability to organize protests on social media (which opponents will probably call riots if there are any injuries)
- lesuorac 2y agoUh yeah, the court of appeals has reached an interesting decision. But I mean what do you expect from a group of judges that themselves have written they're moving away from precedent?
- sangnoir 2y agoI don't doubt the same court relishes the thought of deciding what "harm" is on a case-by-case basis. The continued politicization of the courts will not end well for a society that nominally believes in the rule of law. Some quarters have been agitating for removing §230 safe harbor protections (or repealing it entirely), and the courts have delivered.
