@arstechnica@mastodon.social that’s a broad reach, in the filing because I looked, the rationale is they, the Production companies ‘assumed’ and the Plaintiffs ‘speculate’ they did it.
So using that logic, if I discussed murder on a forum, they could speculate I’ve committed murder, if they get their way. They can also not confirm it’s ’the only way’ to confirm they did it, and yet they act like it’s the golden ticket.
This is messed up.
