The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders on Thursday announced that it is suing the social media company X, accusing it of spreading disinformation.
After Reporters Without Borders, or RSF, discovered that it was the target of a disinformation campaign this past summer, the Paris-based group filed 10 reports of policy violations with X, formerly known as Twitter.
Since none of the posts in question have been removed, RSF opted to sue the company in French courts “for its complicity in disseminating false information, misrepresentation and identity theft,” the group said in a statement.
I think they have to sue in French court, right? Couldn’t X just “Section 230” them to no end if they sue in America? Ironically, Trump wants to repeal 230 and claim Platforms are actually publishers, but I guess he wants to do that to silence his critics and no real concern for disinformation.
They’re suing in French court.
This is going to be good
Trump will designate Reporters Without Borders a terrorist org, and terrorize their reporters using the state.
They aren’t in the United States. This lawsuit is in France.
They don’t have borders, so eventually they will come to the US.
He can still deploy Seal Team.
To go after a loose group of reporters from different countries?
I’m just pointing out how he could do the thing that person you originally replied to was suggesting. I’m not saying it makes sense or is reasonable.
makes sense or is reasonable
That’s getting less and less relevant every day.
