Checked the order against the proposed order WPEngine submitted.  They got nearly everything they wanted.  Only thing that they didn't get was an express order for Matt to stop interfering - and given the likelihood analysis, he should get that message.  —  storage.courtlistener.com/recap/ gov.us...

The key legal question here is whether the output of character ai's chatbot is information provided by another information content provider (the user).  —  If the courts find that it is and give character ai 230 immunity, it may be the final straw that leads to revision or repeal.  [embedded post]

It's pretty clear that the @donotpay lawyer bot is not just a bad idea in general, but is - along with @jbrowder1 - pretty clearly malpracticing law. I mean, my dude, c'mon. Even 16-year-olds know that you HOPE the cop is a no-show in traffic court. https://twitter.com/...

So I had ChatGPT take a swing at an opening statement. Then I did it again - hopefully they won't make my initial mistake. The second attempt...well, it's kinda sorta a defense attempt but...yeah. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Unless the social media companies can rapidly implement measures that censor content based on the geographic location of the reader - something the asinine law in Texas may also ban - they're subject to legal sanctions in at least one jurisdiction.

So their choice is fairly simple, from a business perspective. They can either implement the impossible before the effective date of the bill which *checks calendar* would appear to require a time machine, or they can stop operating somewhere.

The platforms CANNOT simultaneously comply with EU hate speech laws and the Texan inanity that the 5th just endorsed. It is literally impossible to do so. One law requires that they carry content; the other forbids them from carrying that same content.

OK. I have legitimately finished the first half of my writing goals for today, so I can take a little bit of time to go through the Trump LOLsuit against facebook. That it is a LOLsuit is immediately apparent from the caption of the case. https://www.dropbox.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Trump's lawsuits that claim Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube violated his First Amendment rights are just PR and fundraising tools, and likely legally doomed

One member of this class action is not like the others  —  Former President Donald Trump announced himself on Wednesday …

The “causes of action” are: 1: “Violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.” Facebook is not Congress. Nor is Facebook one of the 50 States. Nor is there, to my knowledge, a statute providing a private cause of action against a private party for 1A violations. https://twitter.com/...

OK. So this isn't actually a lawsuit. It's a tweet with a filing fee. This is immediately apparent to any minimally competent attorney who so much as glances at the caption and causes of action. That doesn't mean this is apparent to @IBOLLC and the other clowns who signed this.
