This'll come out in discovery, but I didn't see anything particularly crazy in the complaint.

I didn't see any examples of economic posts at issue, despite it being in the summary.

And the parody accounts seemed to be focused either on (1) non-public figures, like Biden's granddaughter or (2) have resulted in sincere confusion, such as when Twitter actually asked the CDC if a 'parody' account was Fauci's real handle.




<< This'll come out in discovery, but I didn't see anything particularly crazy in the complaint.

You are absolutely right the discovery part and I admit it will likely be something now I will follow more closely ( not completely unlike gems that came out of recent Microsoft/Sony deposition ) despite its political flavor.

<< I didn't see any examples of economic posts at issue, despite it being in the summary.

I disagree here, but I just dislike government overreaching so I also might be overreacting on principle ( and assuming the worst rarely steered me wrong in that realm ).

A parody is a parody is a parody. The backstory is irrelevant for one reason and one reason only. The moment POTUS seemed to implicate himself and his administration in deciding what is kosher, he opened himself to, justifiable, scrutiny and, more importantly, likely eventual mistakes. It can be defended, but the more subtle point is that it should not have happened to begin with.

Not if you want to preserve the system that has even a semblance of pretending to adhere to the original founding principles of this nation.
