X's legal filing in the InfoWars bankruptcy case is both batshit crazy and also what you'd expect. It asserts that X owns every account, can do whatever it wants with them, and can inject itself into legal proceedings that have nothing to do with it.
This is why it's incredibly important that people invest in platforms that they own, and move toward federated/decentralized/portable, noncorporate social media as rapidly as possible
Not really all that novel; people have social media accounts confiscated by the owning platform all the time.
@jasonkoebler "I own all the accounts of everyone who posts on X but I am not responsible for anything posted here" is an interesting legal position that really ought to be challenged.
The owners of corporate sites ought to be held legally responsible for anything published on their sites. The assumption should be that content is vetted before it's published. For-profit social media sites, obviously, do not want to do that because it would kill their businesses. Let it.
The Onion are "democrat globalists"?
@jasonkoebler One thing taught in law schools is that "property" and "ownership" are actually a bundle of rights and that those rights can be separated out.
The "ownership" being claimed in the bankruptcy of Jones and Infowars is the right to control content posting/removal on Twitter, not who "owns" the computers and databases (which are clearly owned by the Twitter Corporation.)
The assets to be allocated in the bankruptcy proceeding are those rights to post/remove content under a given Twitter name. Nobody is asking for Twitter's computers, software, or databases.
The court should consider whether th attorneys of Twitter ought to be sanctioned for making intentionally disruptive motions that even a first year law student can see are unfounded.
I would add that Twitter has various contractual powers under its terms of service, but that would be a separate contract issue outside of allocation of assets in bankruptcy.
@jasonkoebler leave it to Elmo to valiantly come to the rescue of... *checks notes*
Alex. Jones.
The statement that "you do not own your followers or your account or anything at all on corporate social media" has yet to be found in court. If it is, corporate social media will suddenly find itself liable for anything posted using the accounts IT now owns under the law.
I don't think Musk and his lawyers have thought this through...
@jasonkoebler I guess the same is true for Bluesky or how it's called.
Yet fedi is unconvenient.
"La presentación legal de X en el caso de quiebra de InfoWars es a la vez una locura y lo que cabría esperar. Afirma que X es el propietario de todas las cuentas, puede hacer lo que quiera con ellas y puede involucrarse en procedimientos legales que no tienen nada que ver con él.
Por eso es increíblemente importante que las personas inviertan en plataformas que les pertenecen y avancen hacia redes sociales federadas, descentralizadas, portátiles y no corporativas lo más rápido posible.
