Yes. Ohio passed a new age law.
Yes! I’m always down to chat about problematic, 1A-violating state laws!
Always happy to touch base about these things! 💙
The First Amendment is my absolute passion.
Virginia’s proposal is particularly non-sensical. Not to mention onerous for services with significant (or exclusive) web traffic where usage tracking is difficult—if not impossible.
Guess I can’t access features in Ohio. 🙄
The Court denied cert this morning.
Seems like an unlikely case—the response highlights that the 230 argument was not developed below so would not be properly before the court here.
If SCOTUS takes a 230 case they probably want it to be a clean vehicle, unlikely to be this one from my POV
Stick around for 10:30 to hear from @paultaske.bsky.social and @aricohn.com say even more brilliant things about current efforts to regulate the Internet! :)
I travel too much not to have pre check. And yet…
It’s what keeps me going — knowing that we will win.
I draw comfort from Kavanaugh saying that *all* the injunctions we’ve gotten so far are correct *and* we should win here.
This is a tragedy -- not just for a growing concern like Bluesky -- but for all the Mississippi users who have found a sense of community or belonging on the site.
In addition to their other flaws, these laws absolutely destroy important resources for people to foster and maintain their communities
This is something that absolutely breaks my heart.
To be clear, the injunction still *exists* it's just not effective right now.
Briefing is underway to see how the Fifth Circuit will ultimately come out on the question of whether to keep the injunction or not. (Not a huge comfort to folks facing enforcement I'd imagine, just wanted to flag.)
Confused how this squares with the ClassPass decision cited by this opinion…but like…Yippee seems to reach the result CP should have?
I too was distraught when horses stopped being used for regular transportation. Damn that internal combustion engine. 😜
If there are more people out there who are interested in pushing back against these unconstitutional proposals, we would *love* to hear from you!
Partnering with @rahaeli.bsky.social is a joy! And I’d love to have more people like her in our corner! 🥰
“NetChoice will continue to fight against this egregious infringement on access to fully protected speech online," Co-Director Paul Taske said. "Parents—not the government—should determine what is right for their families.”
Once again, we quote the incredible declaration from @rahaeli.bsky.social.
My undying affection for her seems paltry compared to her immense contribution to defense of free speech. 💙
Once again, @netchoice.bsky.social is asking the Supreme Court to defend free speech as our case proceeds.
The Fifth Circuit issued a one-sentence stay of our (second) preliminary injunction last week.

I feel like my feed is slowly just becoming a “praise and thanks to @rahaeli.bsky.social” space.
But like…she’s amazing, and she’s been instrumental in protecting the First Amendment across the country!
A true free speech hero.

Special thanks to @rahaeli.bsky.social for her continued support in challenging this one!
Once again, Mississippi’s access restriction and censorship law is preliminarily enjoined! The district court issued a second injunction today after the case was remanded from CA5 earlier this year.

Indeed. Freedom of speech requires the ability to offend and desecrate the symbols of freedom.
Without that ability, freedom would be illusory.
The State would be empowered to compel allegiance, professions of belief &c.
The First Amendment’s guarantees are not so easily brushed aside.
It would at least stop a lot of the awful stuff being proposed at the moment.
Let’s see if it stays!
To be fair, I also sent it to you so you could see all the great ways *we* were able to reference your incredible declaration!
🥰🥰🥰
More good news on the Free Speech Front:
The district court granted our Permanent Injunction in NetChoice v. Yost (Ohio)!
Huge shoutout to @rahaeli.bsky.social for her incredible support on this one! 💙

Homemade ramen today (noodles were not from scratch). Definitely will have to add it to my rotation.
Posts like this make me think: Your life would make an interesting TV show. 😂
Thank you! 💙
