“The Court finds that the First Amendment claim is unlikely to succeed on the merits because Google and YouTube are not state actors,” wrote Judge Trina Thompson, who was nominated to serve on the Court by Joe Biden in 2021, and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2022.

“Second, Plaintiff was not, and will not, be irreparably harmed if a temporary restraining order is not issued because he does not demonstrate urgency or that he will not be able to share his videos through other sites and methods.”

Here is where it gets really bad.

In the ruling, Judge Thompson also argued that even if Kennedy could establish that YouTube is a state actor, the First Amendment does not necessarily protect “medical misinformation.”

Citing previous cases that recognized a public interest consideration in First Amendment cases, Thompson wrote “the coronavirus still poses a health risk to certain individuals, and it would not serve the public interest to let medical misinformation proliferate on YouTube.”

Astonishing.

“The Court finds...Google and YouTube are not state actors...

(X) Doubt

“Second, Plaintiff was not, and will not, be irreparably harmed...

Absolute bullshit.

...he does not demonstrate urgency

He's running for fucking president, you hack judge.

... or that he will not be able to share his videos through other sites and methods.”

Completely fucking irrelevant. So fucking stupid. So, say they were a state actor. Now Congress may abridge speech, as long as not all government entities abridge speech? This is fucking peak retard, and I'm deeply offended. Dis bitch, man.

...the First Amendment does not necessarily protect “medical misinformation.”

Death penalty. Fucking death penalty. To quote the Most Popular President Ever...“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin.”

Citing previous cases that recognized a public interest consideration...

Fuck public consideration. Fuck it hard.

...Thompson wrote “the coronavirus still poses a health risk to certain individuals, and it would not serve the public interest to let medical misinformation proliferate on YouTube.”

Ah, yes, the Constitutional clause, "unless there's a flu going around."

Dude, I'm legitimately outraged at this nonsense. More so than usual. This is just...wow. Wow.

Oh, and of course she's a diversity hire. Fuck this regime, man.

Well in that case she's a double diversity hire. At least. I wonder if she's gay or something too...
