|    Federal Judge blocks enforcement of New     |

      From: malQRMassimilation@gmail.com              Yesterday, everyone who wants to speak freely online won a major       victory in federal court. Because of the court’s action, websites and       apps cannot be drafted into the “speech police” of New York Attorney       General Letitia James              On Dec. 1, FIRE challenged a new state law forcing websites and apps       to address online speech that the state subjectively deems “hateful.”       New York’s online hate speech law was passed after last May’s tragic       mass shooting by a white supremacist at a supermarket in Buffalo. In       the suit, FIRE represented constitutional law professor Eugene Volokh       and online platforms Rumble and Locals.              Yesterday, Judge Andrew Carter blocked the law from being       enforced. Judge Carter held that the law “both compels social media       networks to speak about the contours of hate speech and chills the       constitutionally protected speech of social media users.”              https://go.thefire.org/webmail/869921/1475572882/d9fd308004d8099       4711a5d74c525552769ffc82265d6680ac06999668c284d5              --       (Please remove QRM for direct replies)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
