Wow, this is extremely fucking retarded, and I am once against astonished that so many judges and politicians are just going about their lives, completely unmurdered. Amazin'.
Facebook’s parent company, Meta, must identify all groups, pages and individual accounts that posted COVID-19 vaccine content that violated Facebook’s COVID-19 misinformation policy, the Superior Court of the District of Columbia ruled last week.
But...but why? Grounds? Grounds? It's their rules, they're not obliged to identify anyone to the government, they can enforce their rules however they see fit. It's not against the law, ho, fuck you!
The subpoena was intended “to determine whether the company has kept its word about reducing vaccine misinformation on its platform.”
This is just repetition but, again, fucking grounds? And there's still no criminality, except from the courts and governments. Fucking hell, they're so bad they're making me defend Facebook. Fuck these slimes.
Meta argued the subpoena violated its First Amendment rights by “prob[ing] and penaliz[ing]” its ability to perform editorial control over content posted on its platforms, while also violating its users’ First Amendment rights on the basis that it would dissuade them from participating in future discussions on controversial topics.
Again, don't make me defend Facebook.
...“Fourth Amendment-like privacy protections by statute to communications held by third party service providers.”
I'm glad they brought up privacy, because that's yet another way they're violating the First Amendment. The government grabbing information of people who engaged in legal speech is indeed a massive, to use their phrase, "chilling effect" on free speech. Clearly!
The D.C. appeals court ...rejected these arguments...It characterized the D.C. attorney general’s request as “reasonably relevant” and “narrowly tailored to the government’s asserted interest.”
Treason.
According to the ruling, Meta did not demonstrate that the subpoena will chill the constitutional rights of the company or its users — because “the users who made these posts have already openly associated themselves with their espoused views by publicly posting them to Facebook.”

Treason.
You know what the penalty for treason is?
The letter of the law, or the practical application?
Ah, good distinction.
"Execution" versus "probably nothing, perhaps a slightly stern talking to" is a pretty big gap.
I'd be on board with "firing squad" and I can't say I'd be in favor of "stern talking-to squad".
