Apparently the ban was because he was reading off the names of people who sent in Bar complaints against him [purely harassment complaints for his political views, not clients] and Youtube treated it as doxxing. However, those are public records, not private.
I'm sure him ranting about it will get a lot of views.
In my experience as a lawyer, suing Youtube would very likely cause them to just dig in and leave him banned for years while he litigated the case and almost certainly lost (even though he should win) because judges are super deferential to social media companies at least until we get state laws turning the tables on them like we are seeing in Florida and Texas.
Ayy, there's two of us. Well shameless plug to my law and legal news community, c/legal. I'd love to have more people post content there.
Yeah, I agree with your assessment. The default course of action that the general counsel offices will give is to preserve the status quo.
More than 2 but dekachin at least normally has good legal analysis unlike that tard that still uses the reddit sub and can't even understand basic case law

He spent a whole day arguing with me and claiming law enforcement could not order passengers out of a legally stopped vehicle
That is generally not a defense on social media sites, unfortunately.
What of the Berenson case against Twitter? Is Twitter more vulnerable because it's not making any money?
I wasn't following that. Odd that they caved in. And yes, I think the fact that Twitter is in a shitty financial situation would make them more likely to not see throwing money at lawyers as worth it, whereas Google has basically infinite money and probably wouldn't care.
Surely they'll let Elon save them then.
Yes. They throw all their money at that 1 hacky lawyer, forget her name.
Quite interesting. Noted.
