This is even more stupid than I expected

I briefly explained why the whole "Section 230 is unconstitutional" argument fails here:

et seq.

"Section 230 is unconstitutional and we hate it, but threatening to repeal it constitutes government coercion sufficient to make Facebook a state actor"

Wow. Just wow.

So many pages devoted to the hearings and legislative threats against social media platforms without the slightest whiff of awareness that Republicans have been doing the exact same thing with the intent of curtailing platforms' expression. You're not going to like how this ends.

If you're arguing Facebook is a state actor because it's conspiring with the federal government to censor disfavored speech, you might want to *not* include the story of how Facebook allegedly suspended someone for posting...a link to a federal agency site.

That is literally evidence against your thesis.

FWIW, most of the lawyers on the pleading are...personal injury attorneys. One of whom (Coale) calls *himself* an ambulance chaser.

"This is a First Amendment lawsuit. Please enjoin defendants from engaging in constitutionally protect speech. Thanks."
