State courts have ruled anti-SLAPP laws unconstitutional. They likely can't protect Sweeney at all.

Since you can't be bothered to post the relevant part yourself, I'll do it for you: "Courts struck down anti-SLAPP laws in Washington and Minnesota, and Washington enacted an updated law Courts in Washington and Minnesota struck down their states’ anti-SLAPP laws, finding them unconstitutional under their respective state constitutions. As discussed above, however, Washington enacted an updated anti-SLAPP law in 2021…

It is obvious to anyone with even a passing interest in American law that a statute that has already been struck down twice is unlikely to survive a third challenge. Whoever doesn't understand that has a bunch of Wikipedia pages to read before discussing anti-SLAPP laws.

One single car leaves the entire airport? Stalker must have paid someone for the plate number.

Depends on which airport you're talking about. Difficult for LAX, but very, very easy for SMO (and since we're talking about a private jet, it was probably SMO and not LAX).

Elon's plane seems to have landed at LAX at 7:50pm on Dec. 12 (Monday), around 24 hours before the incident.

This a pretty reductive take. Based on my observations so far,I don't think EM is as unprincipled as this suggests.

Twitter already suspended someone who posted a video of Elon being booed, is it that much of a stretch?

If that is really the case then it is game over for Twitter.

Then why isn't OpenSky (where elonjet gets data from) and sites like Flightradar24 being sued by Elon then? They publish/provide the exact same info. The only bad faith argument here is claiming publishing publicly available information is somehow endangerment.

I expect he will sue those next, forcing them out of business and taking away an extremely useful tool for both general interest and holding people, companies, and countries accountable.

He'd have to do this all over the world, good luck with that.

Welp, guess we better set up a license plate anonymization program... Law enforcement says NO! In the distance Guess that's that. Welcome to being a trackable number Elon. Remember, it's all in the public interest. Also, It's funny how billionaire's pander to this type of surveillance in the Board Room, but suddenly start trying to throw off the bit/yoke when it starts to inconvenience them personally once somebody i…

Zuckerberg did much the same thing.

Would it hurt to link then?

link? is literally the first line and the first link in the post above > Worth remembering this is public information: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a835af

They said:

> If you own a home, your address may also be publicly available via county records.

You responded:

> ...is perhaps the hundred and fiftieth time I have read this (or a similar variant) nonsense of false analogy, already debunked explained and reexplained in hundreds of variants

Someone asked for a link to any of those comments:

> Would it hurt to link then?

And you reference the start of this thread, which is the thing being questioned. Your comments in this thread have been uncritical.

Anyway, I want to get it back on track if you're willing:

> I'm actually interested in hearing the counter argument.

Yeah, the hypocrisy is what annoys me the most. Not only does it contradict his direct statement about not banning @elonjet, it contradicts his statements about twitter policy being decided by a committee, as well as his numerous other statements about allowing free speech in general. The policy itself I think makes some sense, although it's interpretation is ripe for abuse, just posting any random picture of someone…

Why does it annoy you? If something might be harmful to my kids, I would ignore what I said earlier and protect my kids first. I don't give a shit if I will be labeled as a hypocrite. My family and kids come first no matter what. Wouldn't you do the same? Would you be like oh damn my kid has to die because I can't be a hypocrite?

This is not a way to moderate Twitter or any social plattform. That‘s the pertinent point. It‘s awful governance even if his personal perspective may be understandable. But that doesn’t matter. Still makes this awful governance.

That's why absolutism is a laughable farce when it comes to "free speech"

No it's not. The speech didn't do squat. Some crazy did. I should be able to tweet his flight plans. If se stalker gets a daft idea, woopdie Sue the stalker/get bodyguards.

Land of the free, home of the brave for a reason. The price of admission is living here at your own risk.

His children are only tools for him. He only cares about them as long as they provide him value.

What an awful thing to claim. Do you have any sources to support this?

People who post unsubstantiated bullshit like this don't care about sources or even reality.
