Okay, let’s dig into that one. The tweet quotes the court ruling, which says “Psaki publicly reminded Facebook and other social-media platforms of the threat of ‘legal consequences’ if they do not censor misinformation more aggressively.”
But that quote isn’t accurate. The second direct quote in the ruling is there; “legal consequences” is not[1].
I read the whole thing. I don’t think she came close to threatening legal action at any point. So what are we to make of this? I can’t come to any conclusion other than that the judge’s political bias led him to be sloppy about the evidence and misquote government officials in order to bolster his case.
