Appreciate this explainer from a law prof.
But I want to note one related point: it says this “wrong” story “gained traction on [Twitter]”
But Twitter has been *intentionally tilted* to allow wrong stories like this to gain traction. It’s not organic!

Which involves the right but not just the right. Also Musk. And Laura Loomer.
The US right knows their policies are unpopular, and they know they need disinformation to gain power. It’s why Thiel told Musk to buy Twitter and why Thiel funds Vance too. It’s coordinated. /end

Too often professionals and the highly educated just blithely consume information without asking where it comes from and how it got there.
The wrong tampon story gained traction on Twitter so liberals can see it, due to an organized right wing disinfo campaign.
