You have to wonder whether he really wants to apply the same logic here, or if he instead feels somehow boxed in by the fact that the 11th Circuit heavily cited his earlier dissent and can't find a way to distinguish it from this situation. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
I was curious if he'd find a way to side with Alito, or if he would stand by the First Amendment arguments he outlined in his net neutrality dissent at the DC Circuit. He doesn't explain his vote in yesterday's order, so we don't know whether he buys tech's 1A claims. Still… — PolitiTweet.org

Now it seems the pressure against social media companies has lightened somewhat, but the on-the-merits legal battle must still play itself out — and as you can see from the dissent, a not-insubstantial number of justices doubt the tech industry's ability to succeed. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
The stakes of this early-stage decision were high: If even one justice had voted the other way, it would've affirmed Texans' ability to sue social media for alleged censorship or political discrimination. Legal experts warned it would create total chaos: https://t.co/xmCnURUlar — PolitiTweet.org

As a reminder, this order comes in response to an emergency request by the tech industry — which explains why this decision did not go through the lengthy process of oral argument and opinion-writing as we see with major court decisions. But the impact may be no less profound. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Here's a link to the order, which describes the rather unusual lineup of votes — in the majority were Roberts, Breyer, Kavanaugh, Barrett and Sotomayor. Opposed to blocking the law were Alito, who authored the dissent, Thomas, Gorsuch and… Kagan. https://t.co/wj3vfHYt2J — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Supreme Court rules for tech companies in the legal battle over Texas's social media law, overturning (for now) a lower court decision that would've let the law take effect as the legal challenge plays out.

Good morning! If you're just tuning in, Twitter has agreed to pay $150m in penalties after the US accused it of violating user privacy (and a 2011 settlement with the FTC) by using account security info for targeted ads without disclosing it. https://t.co/RHVMnNtAtx — PolitiTweet.org

I am begging SCOTUS not to newsdump the HB 20 decision on Friday afternoon. Just… please don’t — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Twitter says in a blog post that the use of the info for ads targeting was a mistake and that it was first disclosed in 2019 https://t.co/IaeKZF5sQC https://t.co/7f90QJ6yR8 — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Twitter has agreed to pay $150M to settle the allegations, in a new agreement that also bars it from profiting off of "deceptively collected data" and to allow for multi-factor auth methods besides phone numbers. It must still be approved by the court. https://t.co/Ejr3cluKU6 https://t.co/ToetGoeESd — PolitiTweet.org

The US government has sued Twitter, alleging it misled users about how it handles their contact info in violation of a 2011 settlement. The complaint alleges that for years, Twitter failed to tell the public the contact info helped marketers target ads: https://t.co/vluUUgMV0S https://t.co/5LM9jELsP5 — PolitiTweet.org

Like, is his plan to limit talk on Twitter around shootings to give perpetrators less attention? Would those tweets fall under his rubric of "destructive to the world" / "wrong and bad"? How would this play out in Texas, where Twitter can't block or ban stuff? Serious questions. https://t.co/AgTOsdIZSP — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
This is interesting, but there is zero mention in here of the fact that this guy is about to own a major media platform himself, and no sign they asked him about how his version of Twitter would handle conversations and attention around mass murders https://t.co/MHCuAT4gcG — PolitiTweet.org
