I’d ask how the Meta lawyer could sleep at night arguing such a bullshit and openly caustic line of rhetoric, but the answer’s probably “like a baby, in an extremely expensive and comfortable bed”
What the fuck kind of ruling is that? It’s optional?
Not really “optional”, but more like the court knows they can’t stop the book from existing or being produced, as that would be actual censorship. This is an attempt to limit its reach and pretend it doesn’t exist, like the shadow banning on most social media whenever you say sex, fuck, death, shit or other bad-bad no-no words.
other bad-bad no-no words.
