troy_friz_zell@troy_frizzell 😜 Imagine you study for years and work hard to become a judge and then you have to preside over such a case haha
DaveEarlier today I read an article somewhere else about this verdict. It said the case was thrown out because Twitter failed so state an actionable claim under anti-trust law, for the simple reason that no *consumers* were harmed. That contradicts the 3rd paragraph of the BBC report.
@TheLancashireman I think Arstechnica?

It's a bit confusing, not sure tbh 😅
Maybe something for a #legal expert?
I don't think the Ars Technica article is the one I read, but it has the same quote from the judge:
"Without consumer harm, there can be no antitrust violation"
Samuel LisonI fail to see how the link has anything to do with mars not wanting Musk? Isn't he doing the moon first now anyway as the intermediary?
@samuel Just a stupid joke relating to this paragraph :)
"Its parent company X Corp alleged in 2024 that firms including food giants Unilever and Mars, renewable energy firm Orsted and the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) had conspired to deprive it of "billions of dollars" in advertising revenue."
Yes, I also read that the moon is the priority for now, especially since Trump ordered a base there.
