The conservative Supreme Court has put a stake in efforts to kill one of the earliest boogeymen for the MAGA conspiracy caucus, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act which protects social media companies from liability claims stemming from content posted by users, CNN reports.

In a decision released today, SCOTUS unanimously ruled social media platforms are not liable for posts users made on the site that aided terrorists, while in another, the Court declined to hear a case that would have specifically overturned Section 230 protections–an odd outcome given corrupt Justice Clarence Thomas declaring publicly last year that he sought a case that would allow conservatives to “review” (cough, cough overturn) the regulation.

Conservatives want to negate the law because it gives social media platforms wide authority to moderate content such as users’ posts, something rightwing conspiracy theorists equate to being censored by the government.  Both Republican Georgia Congresswoman and dwarf sasquatch Marjorie Taylor Greene and Republican South Carolina Senator and Trump lapdog Lindsey Graham introduced legislation to completely revoke the entire section of the Act.

At least one SCOTUS watcher noted that this may be a case where the dog caught the car: Kate Klonick, a law professor at St. John’s University, noted that despite Thomas’s bravado, once an applicable case hit the Court, the justices didn’t know what to do with it given the complications of respecting the First Amendment on privately-owned platforms.  “I think it slowly started to creep into the realm of possibility that . . .maybe the Court has no idea what the hell these cases are about and had MAYBE picked them to be activist, but weren’t ready to be THIS activist,” she said in a series of tweets.
