  Really just one guy, the owner, but so? You say that like it's a bad thing. Why do you say all the dumb, inane shit you post?

  You aren't smart enough to know, honestly.

  Yeah, I really don't give a fuck.

  Perhaps you need to look into your reasons why you are willing to defend religions

  ....sigh. I'm "defending" them because they're right on the merits, you moron. That's kinda my whole point, you hating them does not change trademark law.

  this is why I think you people are, collectively, retards. I said nothing about me being religious (and I'm not). I actually think the mormon church is NUTS. Still a very straight forward bit of trademark law.

  yeah, you fucking fool, stop projecting. I'm not religious, and give no fucks about churches you find "acceptable" or not. It's just a very straight forward application of trademark law. But Geightner is making it sound like it isn't presumably just cuz he hates them.

  You're literally just saying random shit, completely meaningless.

  They can’t go after her just for using the word ‘Mormon’

  ...they didn't, tho. They just didn't want her trademarking it. Again, this is pretty straightforward, nothing weird about it.

  I actually think doing so is editorializing violates section 230, actually. Like, you can do that, legally, but then you own everything said for libel reasons. Just need courts to recognize what is actually written rather than being judicial activist.

  That's Canada, a notably backwards country in terms of personal rights. Thankfully, better, freer countries have laws preventing EXACTLY that. (The US, it's only the US, basically all other western countries have forgotten what freedom is, already)

  Yes, yes, you don't like free speech and want to ignore government involvement in SM censorship or that the market isn't very free at all, actually. You could have said that with WAY less words.

  Matt Bennett ( profile ), 13 Feb, 2023 @ 09:33pm

  You are too stupid to realize "free speech" is a concept separate from the 1A. Fuck damn. Every time, there's some idiot who doesn't realize that the 1A bans censorship by government, not that it's only censorship if the government was involved. (but they were! So glad we don't have to argue about that)

  I literally have made it my mission to show up and tell him what an idiot he is when he does his mouth diarrhea on the subject so, yeah. Planning on a cruise this summer, so maybe not that week.

  The link provided was to an actual Nazi

  No, no it really wasn't, you god damned fucking moron, cuz no one founding the Daily Stormer was part of National Socialist German Workers' Party, they are nearly all dead. Words have meanings, and this is all the more important with liberal retards calling anyone they disagree with a "nazi". You can't just call what is colloquially referred to as a "neo-nazi" (already an ambiguous and flexible definition) an "literal nazi" an expect people to take you seriously. Which granted I wasn't already but Masnick absolutely derserves shame for using such hyperbole.

  you people

  Ironic.

  you want to be able to call people ni&&ers online

  I prefer "N-word", and oh no. I want free speech. Which means, explicitly, people saying things I don't like. Including rappers, funny enough.

  Those consequences are simply getting the ban hammer

  They are not. The consequences are having a voice in the public square. You god damned fucking moron.

  I was wondering if we were going to get a dumb post by Masnick about Musk today

  And we do! This one is even dumber than usual...you had no actual news about Twitter, so you posted how Truth Social had right-leaning advertising you don't like....therefore Twitter will too? WTF? P.S. Random racists are not "literal Nazis", you fucking dumbass, the word has a meaning. P.S.S. Actual racists (not just whatever liberal nuts call a "racist") should have free speech rights too.

  It seems reasonable that the Mormon church should control Trademark's on "Mormon".

  I get you guys are super liberal and hate churches just because, but this is very straightforward patent law and nothing is "overreach" about it. As you mentioned it doesn't change the book's title.

  Of course it was. Every single article he's every posted about twitter files was a lie. I'm sorry you're not smart enough to realize it, but you're not very smart. Tell me more about Mr. Bari Weiss of NY Post.

  bhull242 asked you to cite instances of Mike Masnick lying and you reply with a Techdirt search?

  A search for "twitter files". He has lied EVERY time he has mentioned them. Just a few days ago he wanted to pretend the Twitter Files never mentioned requests by Trump or the DNC. Absolutely amazing.

  You’re not winning any of these arguments

  Well yeah, I am, regardless of whether you realize it....but you would if you were smarter.

  No, it was a very large, fairly crowded event,

  I'm looking at your video, looks like a pretty small event. Also "Trust and Sastefy" professionals I'm sure think censorship is good. I don't. I think you shouldn't have a job and that Masnick was invited to such a thing mostly shows he doesn't believe in free speech.
