Un libro: L’inverno di Bird

L’inverno di Bird è un incrocio fra un thriller e una spy-story: la protagonista è Heather Berriman. Il suo soprannome però è Bird.

Heather si ritrova a 50 anni senza un marito, senza figli e senza amici.

Seguire il girovagare con una meta precisa di Heather, ci fa pensare a quando possiamo essere e sentirci soli anche quando si è circondati da colleghi con cui si pensa, erroneamente, di essere solidali.

The #5thCircuit ruling reversed #Doughty’s order specifically enjoining the actions of leaders at #DHS, #HHS & other agencies, saying many of those individuals “were permissibly exercising government speech.”

“That distinction is important because the state-action doctrine is vitally important to our Nation’s operation — by distinguishing between the state & the People, it promotes ‘a robust sphere of individual liberty,’” the 5th Circuit judges wrote.

The #DOJ had argued that #Doughty’s ruling was overly broad & could “chill” a wide range of lawful communications between the govt & #SocialMedia companies, especially in the face of #public #emergencies.…

Any #appeal of the order would bring the debate over #online #speech before #SCOTUS, which is already expected to take up conflicting appeals court rulings over state social media #laws this year.

The #5thCircuit panel also limited the govt institutions affected by its #ruling to the WH, the #SurgeonGeneral’s office, the #CDC & the #FBI. It removed restrictions #Doughty had imposed on the depts of #State, #DHS & #HHS & on agencies including the U.S. #Census Bureau, #NIAID, & #CISA. The #5thCircuit found that those agencies had NOT coerced the #SocialMedia companies to #moderate their sites.

The decision was likely to be seen as victory for #conservatives who’ve long argued that #SocialMedia platforms’ #content #moderation efforts restrict their #FreeSpeech rights. But some advocates also said the ruling was an improvement over a temporary #injunction US Dist Judge Terry #Doughty issued July 4.

David Greene, an atty w/the ElectronicFrontier Foundation, said the new injunction was “a thousand times better” than what Doughty, an appointee of #Trump, had ordered originally.

Excellent warning about a story not getting the traction it deserves. Trump-appointed judge flips reality & silences truth, validates conspiracy theorists, all in one deadly swoop.
