Best I can figure they're either getting paid to say the same tripe over and over(and over) again or it's a particularly strange obsession of theirs that drives them to do so.
That assumes that the goal of their lawsuits is to win the cases, rather than winning being a welcome but ultimately non-vital option with using the legal system as a PR/fundraising tool as the primary motivation.
What's the phrase law enforcement agencies love to use when faced with pushback against surveillance of(as opposed to by) the public?
Ah yes, 'If you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide'. Given they arrested him for attempting to report one of their own for breaking the law it would seem that particular department at least has plenty to 'hide'.
The Biden campaign says it plans to use “every tool we have to reach young voters where they are” and has pledged to keep using “enhanced security measures.”
The kicker is that while that may have been a good idea before he signed the ban doing so after is not going to help him as he's showing that for all the bluster about how dangerous TikTok is 'for kids' he's perfectly willing to use it when it's beneficial to him.
Biden would have been much better off practicing what he preached/signed into law and shutting down his account shortly before or immediately after signing the ban as continuing to use it after doing so is just going to remind the very people he wants to connect to what a hypocrite he is.
Oh noes, someone might be taken away from their current job and tasked with checks notes 'doing anything about abused and/or exploited children'.
Truly a terrible loss to the department's manpower and ability to get important things done.
This liability fear stems from a case where six months lapsed between the regional Task Force receiving NCMEC’s report and the city’s police department arresting a suspect (the abused children’s foster parent). In the interim, neither of the law enforcement agencies notified child protective services about the abuse as required by state law.
If cases like that are the cause of police departments refusing to be involved then that says a lot more about them then they might want to admit to. Neither agency reported the problem to CPS for half a year despite that being required by law, meaning they absolutely did deserve to get sued for that so other departments pointing to that to justify their fears are all but admitting out loud that they too would be indifferent should they find out that one or more kids are in danger.
Well done Biden and the people in congress that passed this, you just handed every country on the planet including the one you're using to fearmonger all the excuse they could possible need to crack down on speech in their own country and return the favor should there be any american companies doing business in those countries.
In backing the idea, DeSantis said Florida wants to stamp out frivolous challenges as “activists” from “all ends of the political spectrum” are objecting to “everything under the sun.”
I guarantee what this translates to is that people keep applying his own law to books(specifically the bible) that he and his supporters want to give a pass to despite being glaring violations.
The crazier copyright law becomes and is interpreted as the less the public is likely to support it once they learn anything about it, and the more 'burn it to the ground and start from scratch, there's nothing left to salvage' takes the place of 'there's still some good there so reform is an option'.
'For you, the day your entered my office to find me with my head up my own ass while reading legal documents was the most absurd, confusing and horrifying day of your life. For me, it was tuesday.'
True, however... a) it's not his money he's spending, and b) if that's the price that it'll take to avoid having to admit that he and/or the state screwed up and then tried to double/triple down on it that's a price he's wiling to have the other people pay.
Gee, I wonder if the reason people might be buying their otherwise legal drugs online from potentially 'shady' sites has less to do with wanting drugs for reasons other than good ones and more to do with an insane medical/insurance system where people might not be able to afford the drugs they need or they might not be able to be prescribed them due to their doctor worried more about possible addiction than what the lack of those drugs will mean regarding quality of life of their patient...
... Nah, I'm sure it's always ill intent.
Sadly it makes perfect sense, you just need to consider his intended audience. If the people you're bragging to fall into the 'alternative facts' crowed where reality is only real when it aligns with your currently held beliefs then simply stating that he won is the equivalent of actually winning to those he's speaking to.
Mind, just because he's a liar and he's playing to the gullible and/or delusional doesn't mean it's not worth calling him out on stuff like this, if for no other reason that the entertainment value of doing so.
Just out of morbid curiosity would you support a hypothetical bill that was aimed at providing funding to food shelters in Ukraine and included a teeny-tiny little provision that your house(among others) would be seized and sold to help cover the cost? Because if 'it does something I support so it doesn't much matter what the cost is' is the standard you want to use then it seems you'd be okay with that.
Time and time again numerous politicians and other expose that when they say they support the first amendment and free speech what they mean is 'speech I agree with and nothing else'.
'Kids in the modern day are increasingly depressed', it must be social media because it certainly has nothing to do with them having to watch all the 'adults' screw everything up and go out of their way to make the world that the kids are going to be handed as bad as possible, while ignoring their own kids and letting anything but the parents raise them.

Much like other SLAPP suits winning the case isn't the point

Sucks being on the receiving end for once, huh?

Biometrics are fine as account IDs. Biometrics should never be used as account passwords.
If he's not trying to throw the election he's going a damn good job accidentally bumbling his way in that direction.
A win-win. Just not for the US

No possible reasons other than bad ones

Well that's one way to call in an artillery strike on any moral high ground you might have otherwise had...
