(2) uses an algorithm to disfavor, shadowban, or censure the user's religious speech or political speech". In May 2022, the US Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit ruled to strike the law (and similarly there was a 5th Circuit judgement), but just this month the US Supreme Court vacated the Court of Appeals judgement (i.e. reinstated the law) and remanded it back to the respective Court of Appeals. That said, the grounds for doing that were the court had not done the proper analysis, and after they do that it might be struck down again. But for now, the laws are technically not struck down. It would be ironic if after conservatives passed this law, and stacked the supreme court and got the challenge to it vacated, the first major use of it was used against Xitter for censoring Harris! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago (2 children) People stupid enough to support fascism aren't smart enough to recognize that it can be used against them permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's the same stupid that thinks a dictator will preserve their freedom. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] macrocephalic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago The same people who think a narcissistic billionaire is "one of them" because he says all the stupid things they're thinking. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mPony@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (3 children) It would be ironic It would be Fascism. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (2 children) Why not both permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Ironically, there is nothing ironic about fascism. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Of course not, fuck fascism, but even fascists can say ironic/moronic bullshit :) permalink fedilink source parent [–] barsoap@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Even without all that messing with stuff too much is bound to clash with protections those kinds of sites have around editorialising.
