This is insane, there should be fines for frivolous lawsuits like this.
And changed the twitter ToS to require suits in a specific part of texas.
Elon Musk’s X updated its terms of service to steer user lawsuits to US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, the same court where a judge who bought Tesla stock is overseeing an X lawsuit against the nonprofit Media Matters for America.
The new terms that apply to users of the X social network say that all disputes related to the terms “will be brought exclusively in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas or state courts located in Tarrant County, Texas, United States, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those forums and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum.”
X recently moved its headquarters from San Francisco to Texas, but the new headquarters are not in the Northern District or Tarrant County. X’s headquarters are in Bastrop, the county seat of Bastrop County, which is served by US District Court for the Western District of Texas.
Amazing how terms of service apparently carry the same weight as laws, yet can be changed arbitrarily by businesses on a whim.
Man-child cries to the government that no-one wants to play with him.
Co-head of a newly created department of efficiency.
It’s all so painfully stupid.
Can I sue Elon for not advertising on my car window? Its only $1k/day
Such a facepalm concept
Capitalists. We can’t regulate businesses, if a corporation is opperating unsafe, harming the environment, spreading hateful messages etc… the only check and balance we need is the free market, and the consumers voting with their wallets.
Consumers vote with their wallets, This is unspeakable… we need the government to regulate to make sure the consumers don’t organize and vote with their wallets.
The thing is Twitter costs, even at its height, under a billion a year to run.
He could pull all advertising and run it to the end of his life as a hobby.
But he can’t have that, because the line must go up and the workers must cower in fear whenever their boss stalks the building.
That and one of the thing with rich people is that they hate losing money whatever happens.
So technically Melon could run Twitter at a loss for years but at one point, he will simply abandon it.
initiative to withhold “billions of dollars in advertising revenue”
That’s how he sees it, huh? He is entitled to your money by default, and you’re the problem if you ever stop giving him money?
