> The plaintiffs pushed back, telling the justices that the Biden administration’s “conception of state action is too narrow.” CISA, they wrote, “engaged in a relentless campaign, involving hundreds of meetings and thousands of communications, to pressure platforms to silence other peoples’ views.” In doing so, they continued, the CISA effectively controlled the platforms’ content-moderation policies “and became directly involved in hundreds of individual content-moderation decisions involving specific speakers, content, and viewpoints” – a violation of the First Amendment.
@icedquinn@blob.cat With how terrible Canadians are too each other, it's no wonder we have the problems we do. It makes things like rapidly expanding assisted suicide during a cost-of-living crisis look malicious. On top of everything else, it makes sense why so many would want to take the "easy way out." But hey, as the first "post-national state" we get to be a beacon of progressive enlightenment values for the world! I'm sure humanity will proudly remember Canada when it's sold off to Amazon. @Saorsa@coretalk.space
@icedquinn@blob.cat I'm fully expecting Pierre Poilievre to get the boomer vote and we get 10 more years of crushing austerity while they blame everything on people who couldn't afford to live. (TFWs, Many zoomers & millenials, retirees, etc) By the end of it I'm sure politics will get interesting as the idea of a functional Canada leaves living memory.
