Supreme Court rules in favor of jannies - :marseybardfinn3: comment inside

:marseybardfinnsbiggestenjoyer::

I would be glad to know which concurring opinion you had in mind when stating that the signatory/ies has a poor understanding of how Reddit works.

IANAL IANYL ATINLA and I'm not Reddit's lawyer. This is just me, griping —

I read the Texas law, TXHB20, when it was proposed and when it was adopted.

https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/872/billtext/html/HB00020F.htm

It has a section, Section 8, which I call the Hydra.

Section 8. (a) … it is the intent of the legislature that every provision, section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word in this Act, and every application of the provisions in this Act, are severable from each other.
>> (b) If any application of any provision in this Act to any person, group of persons, or circumstances is found by a court to be invalid or unconstitutional, the remaining applications of that provision to all other persons and circumstances shall be severed and may not be affected. All constitutionally valid applications of this Act shall be severed from any applications that a court finds to be invalid, leaving the valid applications in force, because it is the legislature's intent and priority that the valid applications be allowed to stand alone.

Etc, etc. it has many other clauses in that section all to the effect of "if a court leaves so much as an atom of this law in place, we intend to use it, now and in the future".

IMO it's the real payload of the bill, and it's a definitive signal that they will not give up on this power grab until it's entirely disallowed.

That's what that section says: They're not throwing in the towel on this. Ever.

That post is a bit disingenuous, the supreme court didn't really say much of anything besides that they felt the lower courts needed to reexamine the cases. The decision was unanimous, but the reasonings were not.

Bardfin is a head boss :marseytrain: moderator of most of reddits best subs. So xe banned everypony here for trolling. When xe left zers hug box of Reddit subs that xer moderated xers stinky poo finally smelled up the room. In a normal sub where xe would interact xe would ban 100s of comments and accounts for even the slightest bit of questioning xers facts. But xer was not in a safe space so every sub posted and linked xer being destroyed outside of her hugbox and xer was brutally dog pilled by hundreds of coomers

As our experience with the Texas law demonstrates (we were sued over moderators removing an insult directed at the fictional character Wesley Crusher from Star Trek), laws like these restrict people's speech and associational rights and incentivize wasteful litigation.

in 2022, a Reddit user in Texas sued us under the Texas law (HB 20) after he was banned by the moderators of the /r/StarTrek community. He had posted a disparaging comment about the Star Trek character Wesley Crusher (calling him a "soy boy"), which earned him a ban under the community's rule to "be nice." (It is the height of irony that a comment about Wil Wheaton's character would violate Wheaton's Law of "don't be a peepee.") Instead of taking his content elsewhere, or starting his own community, this user sued Reddit, asking the court to reinstate him in /r/StarTrek and award him monetary damages. While we were able to stand up for the moderators of /r/StarTrek and get the case dismissed (on procedural grounds), the Supreme Court is reviewing these laws and will decide whether they comply with the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Our experience with HB 20 demonstrates the potential impact of these laws on shared online communities as well as the sort of frivolous litigation they incentivize.

Darn I miss you lawlz

A severability clause is pretty routine and prudent. I guess the 'Finn doesn't read any contracts.
