I had only seen Yellen say “only the big bois “. Thanks for pointing that out. I still think you underestimate the power of these banks. Fed meets at banks’ offices when it hits the fan. Not the other way around.

WSB are majority of the put buyers and the minority are the put sellers.

Your post won’t get traction. The fear narrative will be milked until puts expire worthless on Friday.

Then the loss porn hits from put buyers.

I never gave my opinion on the validity of the cases, merely pointing out that an unfavorable decision will be extremely unfortunate for all social media companies.

If a bookstore banned some books claiming they were "dangerous" but then sold a book that could be ruled as inciting violence then they could be held liable. Once you start editing you become a publisher. The courts have already ruled there is a limit to free speech. Also, the courts have allowed producers of products that are legal but harmful can be sued, and by amplification of a dangerous product, that publisher could be liable.

If you assume the justices will only rule on the amplification of one post over another as it relates to 230 is myopic at best. All you have to do is look back to last year and the Dobbs case. Instead of simply ruling that 15 weeks was the new bar set, they threw out 50 years of roe. Dobbs didn't require that to exist, but the justices decided roe itself was wrong and struck it down. In this case one of the justices said in questioning that the court could even overlook the standing challenge, which this court has repeatedly shown a deference for just to make a ruling on 230. It sounded like they're interested in the whole matter.

I don't know how it will go, but I'm not going to pretend that it may not be very detrimental to meta.
