Twitter Lawsuit Update:

After our 1st Federal Court hearing on Motions to Dismiss filed by Twitter, the State of CA, et al, Judge Breyer (who is the brother of Supreme Court Justice Breyer) said that this lawsuit is “complicated” and involves “novel issues”

The oral arguments lasted over an hour and primarily focused on the Pruneyard case from 1980 where the Supreme Court affirmed a California ruling that people have *some* 1st Amendment protections in a shopping marketplace open to the public

Will those protections be extended to social media users in the new “digital public square”?

Judge Breyer said he doesn’t expect to release his ruling until after January 1
