2021: Meta ban me for life for making Unfollow Everything

2024: Ethan Zuckerman launches Unfollow Everything 2.0 lawsuit

That's just...nice

With my brilliant friends at Knight First Amendment Institute, I filed suit against Meta today, asking a federal court to find that CDA section 230 gives users rights to control what they see on social media via third party tools. See our complaint at knightcolumbia.org/cases/zuckerma…

Earlier this week, we at Knight First Amendment Institute filed a new case that we hope will change the way people are allowed to use social media.

Our client is Prof. Ethan Zuckerman (@ethanz), and we’re suing Meta.

It’s a novel case with big aspirations.

📢NEW FROM ME!

On the TikTok ban, the danger of abandoning defense of speech to extremists, & how the liberal tendency to assume a just state 'outside the scope of this paper' leads to confused law/policy that can exacerbate the problems platforms pose.
