Judge rules copyright law governs public data scraping, not X’s terms.

    It’s almost like a 100 page website TOS is meaningless.

    The crux of it is

    ‘If X owned the data, it could perhaps argue it has exclusive rights to control the data, but then it wouldn’t have safe harbor.’ if you own it you don’t get section 230 protection.

    This judge is also the one who stomped Oracle, in Oracle vs Google

    Technically it is a “Judge says” post, but they still made it look like one of the old “Elon says” posts

            I wouldn’t even grace him with “celeb” - you only know anything about Musk because he’s a gigantic aloof piece of shit lol

              I LITERALLY only know Elon is because of the media, and the fact he pops up on X all the time, to every user I assume.
