A Fisking of the 11th Circuit Opinion in Florida vs. Big Tech (Netchoice v. Moody)
ericrasmusen.substack.com
The opinion is here. Lawyer Ari Cohn has a Twitter thread on it and Professor Eric Goldman has a blogpost, and they like both outcome and reasoning. I don’t. Thus, I’m fisking it here. “Fisking” may be the wrong term, since this opinion is not “an article full of lies” of the sort that gave rise to the term. But it’s useful to indicate that I’m going to quote the entire original document and put my comments in as we go along. Judge Newsom is actually a good writer, which makes it easier to spot his errors. (I’m grateful; in refereeing a submission, nothing is so infuriating as a paper with good ideas and bad writing; a paper with bad ideas and good writing, on the other hand, is a pleasure to referee because it is so easy to make suggestions for improvement and feel like you’re worthwhile as a referee.)
