A federal judge on Wednesday rejected a request from Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to temporarily bar Google from removing videos of him from YouTube based on its medical misinformation policies.

U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson found that Kennedy’s case against Google and its subsidiary YouTube is unlikely to succeed because the companies are not state actors and, as a result, can’t be held responsible for abridging his speech.

    I think the fear is, there are enough senior Democrats who would go “Kennedy? Yes sir!”

      Democrats that old are the “never Lincolns party” Democrats and have probably been burning their votes for the green or libertarian parties anyway.

      The boomers really are clueless. Had a long discussion about the world and capitalism and they still think it is the 60s.
