6th Cir.: Guy who created a parody Facebook page mocking the Parma Police Department can sue the officers who investigated and arrested him for it. "The First Amendment does not depend on whether everyone is in on the joke."
6th Cir.: To find out whether speech is protected parody, "the law requires a reasonable reader standard, not a 'most gullible person on Facebook' standard."
Interesting case on parody and the First Amendment, with citations to @TheOnion, of course -> opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/1…

Huawei has asked a judge to dismiss criminal charges against the firm because it is "the target of the politically motivated decision, at the highest levels of the U.S. government, to pursue the selective prosecution of Chinese companies and nationals."
Among other things, Huawei cites President Trump's statement that he would intervene in a criminal case against one of the company's executives "if I think it's good for what will certainly be the largest trade deal ever made."
Here's the motion to dismiss, from @usatoday's @big_cases bot ->

A federal judge has pretty resoundingly rejected ex-Trump adviser Roger Stone's request to have the charges against him dismissed. "The defense has not identified any legal rounds that would support dismissing or enoining this action."
Stone will get to see the redacted portions of the Mueller report that relate to him.
The judge rejects Stone's argument that the sepration of powers prevents him from being charged with lying to Congress absent a congressional referral."The defendant misapprehends the fundamental allocation of authority established in the Constitution."

Court: The good faith exception to the warrant requirement applies even when a circuit court has previously told this very officer to stop doing the very thing - relying on an anonymous informant - that he went on to do again in this case.
If the officer continues his "slipshod approach to seeking warrants," the court warns, it could eventually cause a problem.
"Even if the deterrent force of the exclusionary rule will not be brought to bear, the Court believes important lessons can be learned nonetheless."

This was already addressed mid-thread. You do realize filing lawsuits costs money to the court, yes?

Not getting paid != going into the hole paying the court costs

The goat's still waiting...

There are a few options. Provide evidence he wasn't there or X wasn't there, or depose X and challenge X's credibility (history of lying, etc), or provide evidence X is lying (emails, texts, etc), or get on the stand to say "that's false" and pray

They're too dim to realize ppl find out about the GFMs *because* they were shared on Twitter

Earlier today I learned about this #StandWithVic hashtag and the total gibberish sent by his lawyers as part of a LOLsuit

Reminder to check out the defamation basics #Law140 on why this is going to end poorly for him
You seem to have missed the thread explaining the law

Not entirely surprised literacy is not your strong suit though

Witty!

Thread: If you want to know how fake likes, loves and follows get industrialised on #Facebook, here's a good example from #Brazil.

The fakes boosted hyper-partisan posts in Mexico ahead of the election.

Fake engagement's an international business.

medium.com/dfrlab/electio…
Here are the reactions to two hyper-partisan Mexican posts, on different pages.

Note the number of accounts in common. Looks like an organised brigade.
Following the traces of the brigade led back to this account. Note the letters PCSD, which are diagnostic for this particular network.
