Laughable to quote anything these days as being a SCOTUS “precedent” ya know?

Here's the whole thing for those who can stomach it. youtu.be/7k1ehaE0bdU?...

I'm not sure Mark learned much in his prestigious college, using those resources to cash in early and 'use big words'.

he's gaslighting

Has anyone told him?

Suspending free speech in an "emergency"? Now where have we heard that before.. I can't quite put my fuhrer on it...

Understanding the 1A is very simple, apparently not for some. 1A doesn't cover these private platforms. There is no such thing as free-speech! Your speech is limited by the TOS!

Well, he knows how stupid some people are (aka maga).

1st Am lawyers would tell him thing he doesn't want to hear, so, no.

What are you talking about? There's lots of stuff you can't yell in a crowded theater. You can't yell "HIPAA" in a crowded theater, for example; that's a violation of Section 230. Everybody knows that. Over on Twitter they do, anyway.

One of his former lawyers is a city councilmember in Seattle. This lawyer (before he was elected) equated a small concrete barrier (to prevent illegal left turns) to Trump's border wall because it blocked turns into a bilingual preschool...that his kids attend(ed?). publicola.com/2023/11/17/c...

Lol. You still think truth matters.

And both are plausible

@mmasnick.bsky.social @kenwhite.bsky.social Maybe Elon's been sharing his ketamine?

Thank you for this. Exactly why I have followed you for years

Crazy thought, but is it possible that they’re angling META to be an official government media?

It doesn’t take $1,000/hr attorneys. It only takes an internet connection and Wikipedia to understand the Free Exercise Clause. He’s one of yours, Harvard.

Yes, it's a great inconvenience in case of fire, not being able to shout "fire". What a maroon. What an Eskimo piehead. (In case it's ambiguous, I mean Zuck, not you, Kevin!).

The mistake you’re making here is assuming non-lawyer executives listen to and retain anything their attorneys tell them that doesn’t reinforce their existing ideas about how law should work.

I yelled at the screen when Gov. Walz said his "crowded theater" bit during the VP debate and I would have yelled at the screen again had I heard this podcast. And I am very much not prone to yelling, normally...

Cmon Mike. He knows how the 1st amendment works and had plenty of prep going into that interview. Just vile.

He is a college dropout, after all

Let them post vaccine conspiracy shit- thin the herd!

It’s baffling to me that both he and Rogan felt like this would get much better when trump got into office. Have they not seen trump in office before?? Either they are naive, or they are only be willing to work with MAGA Republicans.

I can't believe you didn't stop to note that THIS IS SCREAMING FIRE IN A CROWDED THEATRE telling people to be fearful , leading to mayhem that gets people hurt, such as by undermining the belief in vaccines with full-on LIES

But they were very mean, Mike!

What he isn’t talking about if the coercive measures Trump did to make him kiss his ring

This right here is the bit that people *refuse* to understand.

The Supreme Court hasn't issued a clear test unfortunately, but between Bantam Books and Vullo there's a basic framework.

Then what we are seeing lately are hostage videos.

Why doesn't Meta realize that filling its site with lies and garbage (seeing more of it everyday) means driving away people who have neen faithful users since the beginning? We just want to engage with ftiends and damily, share pictures, etcbut now we'll be back to 2015 era of lies, bad memes.

The other big part that's getting attention: he talks about Biden admin folks who would call up Meta and "scream and curse" at them. He notes that this is all public *because of the Jim Jordan investigation* and the Murthy lawsuit. But because (unlike Zuck) I actually followed all that, I know...

Also, Trump literally threatened to jail Zuckerberg himself for life, but that doesn't count for some reason.

It’s zuck claiming the government broke the law?

To achieve acceptance in the Trump/MAGA He Man Woman Hating Club, Zuckerberg must publicly display his "victimhood".

He does. He just doesn’t care. There’s no consequence for him. That’s why he’s doing this – – to ensure there is none.

He's been given his orders

He fired them- he’s using gronk.

Pay attention to this. Zuck just let the cat out of the bag that the orange turd is going to declare a national emergency, and impose restrictions on our 1st amendment rights. Most likely declaring martial law.

Free speech is a concept, it's not defined by one particular country's legal system. The 1st Amendment is a legal code that serves free speech by limiting what the government is allowed do to infringe it, but it doesn't define the concept.

This is turning me bonkers, what they want is an actual free use of n words and so on ! Attacks on LGBT community and so on

Got it mate

The always propagated this internally even in 2015 already. The entire blah blah only had one purpose - avoid accountability. Every mechanism - fact checkers, oversight board are all accountability sinks where meta keeps the power and something else gets blamed

I should have sent home this
