I've just posted what Posobiec stated. Read some of my comments to get a clear idea of what this means.
Basically, Thomas just opened the door for us to sue corporations whereas there was no precedent before. He handed us a template to follow, we just need a case including all the checkboxes he just provided.
Effectively, corporations are on notice that if they silence someone, people can use Thomas' words here to go for the throat. They can't be as brazen anymore.
They've been skipping pretty, but now they have to dodge hot coals.
If they want to keep their 230 protections based on how vague the law is, they have to pick their shots now instead of bash down anyone who challenges them like before.
Thomas lined them up, but we are the only ones who can knock them down.
Well that would be good, to sue such corporations for violating free speech, but again there's the roadblock of section 230 that prevents anyone from suing them - it's like a catch 22. He even states in his opinion that nobody has sued Twitter. Nobody can! I got from his text that he was urging Congress to do something about this - unfortunately, at the end of the day, they are the only ones who can remove the section 230 protections from these tech giants. I hope you're right in that Thomas' opinion can be used in future litigation to take those jerks down a few notches. Best to you! :)
You're right.
I agree.
