JTN–
A judge rejected 2024 Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s request for a restraining order against Google and YouTube in a censorship lawsuit filed earlier this year.
U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson ruled that Kennedy did not meet the threshold for a preliminary injunction to be granted grounds of the First Amendment, due to Google and YouTube being private companies.
Earlier this month, Kennedy sought out a temporary restraining order to restore certain videos removed by Google and YouTube on the grounds of COVID-19 medical and vaccine “misinformation.”
The videos included a speech at New Hampshire’s Saint Anselm College, an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan and an interview with clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson. more
Must be election season, covid fear is returning.
The judge uses typical circular logic. Saying that the First Amendment protects Google and Youtube since they are private companies and ignores the fact Google and Youtube conspired with gov’t to violate the First Amendment.
Poor Bobby Jr, must really butt hurt to be irrelevant. There are plenty of websites where he can post his videos. Just not Google or YouTube. See here’s the thing, you gots to read the fine print. There are all kinds of rules for posting on their sites. You don’t follow those rules & your post will be removed, you continue to break their rules & you’ll be removed. Hows that. You want unabashed 1st Amendment posting, not happening there. Private internet corporations do not have 1st Amendment obligations, period. But hey Bobby Jr always has a listening place in the far right. Best he do the honorable thing & switch parties.
The digital town square/section 230 argument is not going away no matter how many Anonymous internet posters declare the issue moot.
Must piss you off not being able to promote hate & conspiracy theories everywhere you can, right.
No I get pissed off when big government conspires with big tech to stifle free speech… you fucking moron. If it can happen to RFK it can happen to anyone.
This is why for years I argued that Google and others should be regulated as utilities and to the same standards as a phone company. Got lots of pushback here for that.
Kind of funny. As witnessed here, the Libtards hate RFK as much as they hate Trump. What’s up with that? Makes me want to support him.
RFK Jr is total scum. Can’t stand him or his family.
