Mike Masnick ✅Today's dumbest, most annoying story is that telco lobbyists have successfully fed a completely bullshit story to right wing rags about how Gigi Sohn supports "sex trafficking" because she's on EFF's board, and EFF is (correctly) against FOSTA (which a court is likely to declare unconstitutional) https://www.techdirt.com/2023/01/27/new-dumb-attack-against-gigi-sohn-tries-to-shame-her-for-being-on-the-effs-board/
Chad Loder@mmasnick We seem to have lurched so far to the oligopolist right that libertarian institutions like the EFF and the ACLU are being cast as extreme far-left orgs.
ZacWell the provide aid to his “enemies” so they must be an enemy as well
localzuk@chadloder @mmasnick if they're frivolous lawsuits, why would they get a payout? Logic is not a strong point of the far right.
Spicewalla@chadloder @mmasnick Slavers used to accuse abolitionists of being commies, so not much has really changed.

Nuff said.

Aclu's justification for letting trump back on facebook - he's an important person. Aka rules for thee and not for me, aka conservatism. Both those orgs claim to be equal in treatment, I'm not convinced.

PinkeriteAndy Ngo is Trump's favorite rat-fucker. That's why fascist Elon Musk supports him.
toxtethogrady@chadloder @mmasnick Sounds like Ngo has been on the losing end of some of that litigation before. While I'm thinking about it, does he have a real job that makes him a productive member of society?
BoredomFestival@mmasnick "FOSTA (which a *sane and fair* court is likely to declare unconstitutional)"
FTFY (alas)

@mmasnick hoooooly shit

@hacks4pancakes @mmasnick perfect reaction. No notes.

Sasha Fox@mmasnick FOSTA is such an evil law that has only served to get sex workers murdered, and has been used to protect zero people.

Dannyboyguyman@mmasnick this seems like challenging fate to produce a dumber, more annoying story
Half Cocked Law@mmasnick Are these the same rags that love Matt Gaetz?
Random Rage@mmasnick why are telcos for FOSTA? Isn't it so much more of a headache to maintain compliance?
@randomragenet telcos aren't "for" fosta, but they're against gigi.
Aurora Penguin@mmasnick are there stories about how fosta might be ruled illegal?
