In a 6-3 ruling, the court said the challengers did not have legal grounds — or standing — to bring the case against the Biden administration because the states and individuals could not show they were directly harmed by the communication between federal officials and social media platforms.

I am so horribly frustrated with "no standing" on countless supreme court cases.

Standing is basically a cowards way out. It's explicit censorship by the government of points they want suppressed, using a private company as the tool to do it. Acb and Kavanaugh are shit.

At this point we should just get rid of the concept entirely, and say everyone has "standing."

The mysterious wizardry of 'standing and laches'

Tell me SCOTUS is not just a synod of bishops making scriptural readings.

Is that any different from how they used to label things a “national security risk?”

Makes me think if Republicans ever get power again, we just declare everything on the left that way and suppress it.

Given how things are playing out, we must be okay with this.

The social media companies will not cooperate. If pressured to comply, they will sue and SCOTUS will rule that they do have standing.

LOL. God, I still cannot understand how many times people have to see it play out before they start getting it. The right cannot engage in this sort of "turnabout is fair-play!" stuff, because the left controls the mob via their control of the media.

Whenever the right does exactly what the left did, what will happen is that the media (traditional and internet/social) will seize upon that, and then run a 24/7 smear campaign about "Look how the right is abusing power!". That media reaches everyone on the left, and nearly all the people in the middle. People are stupid as fuck, and they are easily swayed by 24/7 propaganda. It works! Media from the right only reaches people already on the right. Their propaganda has no power.

How can people have lived through the Trump/Biden election times, and the COVID times, seen - with their own eyes - how effective relentless propaganda campaigns are at convincing the mob (the stupid, disinterested, and uninformed masses) about what to be mad about, and what to ignore, and still not get it?

The left gets to play by an entirely different set of rules until their indoctrination system is destroyed/dismantled. The right can never get away with doing what the left does until that happens.

Okay, so what are you going to do about it?

What I've already done about it : have kids, and make sure to instill the right kinds of values / ways of thinking in them. You know what sort of indoctrination campaign they are going to face at school, and then at every other point in their life. It's up to you to prepare them for it. Plant the seeds of something better in your children's minds, before the left gets its chance.

You need only to spend a lot of time with your children, being their friend, and earning your place as a trusted guide. You can show them everything that is being done. Show them every place the lies/agenda are being constantly foisted onto them. Make them understand what they are dealing with, and that it's not normal that things are like this. Create a generation(s) that is non-vulnerable to these people, and the disgusting system of control they have set up.

Other than that - outbreeding them - what else can you do at this point?

They own the schools, and openly indoctrinate there. They are firmly in control of the public narrative by running the media, entertainment, all the information type sites like Wikipedia, search sites like Google/YouTube etc. They control most large places of congregation/discussion on the internet. If what you're trying to get at is that I should attempt to organize some sort of violent resistance, I'm not about to do that, and I don't even see how that would help at this point either, as they seem to have control over government institutions like the FBI, and they have proven that they are more than willing to use those institutions to go after their enemies, declare them enemies of the state / terrorists, whatever.

Make kids, and teach them. That's what we have left. It's like being Obi Wan on Tatooine. You can't win against what they have constructed. You have to bide your time, and create/protect a generation that hopefully can.

The answer is to stop caring when the left cries about what the right does.

Why do I feel like this will magically reverse should Trump win and starts demanding answers ?

Let me - if I may be so bold - correct you here.

The White House - when it's controlled by the left - can pressure and threaten social media sites.

We've got the same thing we always have. People on the right (at least those justices seem like they are maybe on the right, but who knows anymore), attempting to be noble, and apply the law fairly; however, we all know how this is going to play out.

The next time this happens, and the administration in charge is Trump (or anyone else not in the media's preferred party, and we all know which one that is) it will be 24/7 news cycled, it will be inescapable on the internet, and it will be "the end of free speech, and democracy in America!" You might even get a new impeachment trial for like, "Failing to protect/uphold the Constitution."

TLDR: attempting to be reasonable and fair just allows the left to do whatever the fuck it wants when its in charge, and then it uses its control of The Narrative (traditional and internet based media) to relentlessly go after the other side when it does the same thing. Additionally, if the do gain control of the Supreme Court, the activists they place on it will not hesitate to act in a completely biased/activist manner, and they will use that control to shape things in a way that benefits them.

Not exactly. The court ruled on standing, not the merits of the case.

So trump can pressure social media to treat everyone fairly... right?? Honestly, freedom of speech probably dont exist on the mainstream social media platforms. Just saying that.. people that say "kill all white people" should be treated the same as people that say "kill all black people" or "kill all arabs". But social media tend to allow the first one to be said, but not the last 2.
