    Do it. C’mon, Lonnie. Make life worse for yourself. I double dare ya.

    Seriously, this passed in September and he bought Twitter in October. Sure, he’d been on the hook for months trying to get out of it, but he’s had plenty of time to learn what would be required.

    Even if other social media companies agree that this law goes too far, I can’t imagine any of them hitching their wagon to his suit. Twitter is so full of nazi bullshit now that the optics would be terrible to do so.

    ETA: We’ve crossed the fucking Rubicon! The only mention of Twitter was the author of the bill being quoted! Maybe we’re finally done with the tedious “X, formerly Twitter,” nonsense. Crack a beer and start the weekend right now!

      Is this the process? You don’t like a law so you sue the state? Is this how laws get challenged and kicked upward for constitutionality review?

        Yes: as with most laws, you fling a bunch of money at it until you get your way.

          Ah yes. The true ’how a bill becomes a law’.

        It’s been the process since the Corporatist push of the late 1970’s.

        It’s definitely part of a process. There’s a reason all the scumbags in congress are lawyers.
